Voltei pro meu lugar, lyric video sample
- Song language Portuguese
- 37-second excerpt
Style and material
Road dust, bare feet, a big city left behind and a longing that time never erases: this Brazilian Portuguese song is about coming home to a fair at the end of a sunny day and to the person waiting there. The look is cordel, the woodcut booklets of Brazil. Pink, yellow and green covers lie on a wooden table, each with a black cut-wood picture of a sun, a house, a cactus or a bird. The letters are cut in wood and printed on coloured paper. Made for this song, the booklets, the woodcuts and the words all come from its story of leaving the city and coming home.

Lyrics (caption text)
The same text as the captions of the video.
Poeira da estrada, pé no chão
Deixei a grande cidade pra trás
No peito guardei uma saudade
Que o tempo não apaga jamais
Cheguei na feira do povo
No fim de tarde de sol
Vi teu olhar no espelho
Do meu coração farol
Voltei pro meu lugar
A lua já vai clarear
Fechei a mala de dor
Para no teu abraço morar
