I hear the drizzle of the rain
It's falling from my window
And in the corners of my mind
I hope that I'll get to see you again

I hear the colors in the flowers
Just like the candle snuffed at dawn
You're here, you're near, you're there
and then you're gone

Suffering in sinking sand
All the hurt
See, I'm really lost, baby
We suffered a rare, rare blue
So much hurt
On this earth
But you loved me
And I really dared to love you, too
Perhaps what I mean to say is
Is that it's amazing that your love was mine

Oh, Maker, tell me did you know
This love would burn so yellow?
Becoming orange and, in its time
Explode from grey to black then bloody wine

Oh, Maker, have you ever loved
Or known just what it was?
I can't imagine the bitter end
Of all the beauty that we're living in

Suffering in sinking sand
All the hurt
See, I'm really lost, baby
We suffered a rare, rare blue
So much hurt
On this earth
But you loved me
And I really dared to love you, too
Perhaps what I mean to say is
Is that it's amazing that your love was mine

Lost inside a lonely world where lovers pay the price
Barely get the sound of music to love and go dance to
Now it's time for us to go and no one ever has to know
Your love's in my pocket and your eyes, eyes are in my...
Eyes in my soul, no one will know it but me

Great Circus


The dirty canvas is arriving
The great human circus
With the clown's hunger
And the crazy ballerina
Let's celebrate
The rib that will break
On the trapeze is nonsense
The little misery

Right in the middle of this arena
it's going to happen -
death, glory
and surprises at the end
Silver and moon. bread and circus
a smile will be drawn
In the bitterness of this party -
along with this party

Up and down the mountain
The great human circus
On your back, on your thin shoulder
carrying, silver and moonlight
The mystery that will show itself
On the balance wire, on the rising sun
Dream awaits the great human circus -
a broken heart, a human circus

* "Gran Circo," by Milton Nascimento, delves into the themes of the human condition, poverty, and the allure of entertainment in the face of struggle. The song paints a vivid picture of a circus, both literal and metaphorical, showcasing the various characters and emotions within.

The opening lines describe the arrival of a worn-out circus, symbolizing the hardships and struggles of humanity. The "palhaço" (clown) embodies the hunger and desperation often hidden behind a mask of laughter, while the "bailarina louca" (crazy ballerina) represents a sense of chaos and unpredictability. Despite these challenges, there is a call to celebrate and embrace the impending spectacle.

The chorus highlights the significance of "Pão e circo" (bread and circus), a phrase derived from ancient Rome, which suggests that people can be distracted and pacified through entertainment and material benefits, even in the midst of suffering. The combination of "prata e lua" (silver and moon) implies the allure and glamour associated with the circus, creating a momentary escape from the bitter realities of life.

The lyrics speak of the circus as a platform for intense emotions and experiences, with the promise of both glory and death. The line "Coração partido circo humano" (A broken heart, a human circus) conveys the idea that the circus is a microcosm of human existence, filled with both joy and sorrow.

Furthermore, the references to the trapeze and tight-rope walking symbolize the fragile balance between success and failure, and the precariousness of life itself. The "sonho" (dream) that waits for the human circus suggests that hope and aspirations endure even in the face of adversity.

"Gran Circo" ultimately reflects on the complex relationship between entertainment, poverty, and the spirit. It reminds us that even amidst hardship, there is a desire for escape, celebration, and the fleeting moments of joy found within the grand spectacle of life.
