Chico Buarque & Toquinho - Samba De Orly (V4YS Fiumicino Rework) by Vibes4YourSoul published on 2020-09-11T17:55:41Z Written in 1969 in Roma by Chico Buarque and Toquinho, “Samba de Orly,” is a beautiful exile song. A melancholic message addressed by a Brazilian forced to flee to Europe, to a friend lucky enough to go back home to Rio. It's in fact an auto-biographic story in a heavy political context: in early 1969, under aggressive scrutiny by an increasingly repressive Brazilian dictatorship, Chico Buarque took advantage of a concert tour in Italy with Toquinho to effectively exile himself there temporarily with his wife. When Toquinho and Chico reviewed the final version of the song, their friend Vinicius De Moraes advised them to make the lyrics harsher and more clearly political to reflect the pain of life in exile. But Brazilian censorship refused the changes, and the song was released in Brazil with their original milder lyrics. Song title refers to Paris's Orly, as it was well known to the Brazilian audience, contrary to Roma's Fiumicino airport. Fast forward to today, and I can't help thinking about Brazil current situation and regime, which evokes in several ways this dark dictatorship era. Let's hope all the wonderful artists in the country will not be forced to exile themselves as well. Here's my groovy take of the song, as a little hint of love and support to all of them :) ----- partial lyrics and translation Vai, meu irmão Pega esse avião Você tem razão de correr assim Desse frio, mas beija O meu Rio de Janeiro Antes que um aventureiro Lance mão Pede perdão Pela duração dessa temporada Mas não diga nada Que me viu chorando E pros da pesada Diz que vou levando Vê como é que anda Aquela vida à toa E se puder me manda Uma notícia boa Go on, my brother, catch that plane You’re right for running away like this From this cold, but kiss My Rio de Janeiro Before some opportunist makes a grab Beg pardon for the duration of my sojourn But don’t say anything about seeing me crying And tell the tough ones that I’m carrying on Go see how that idle life is going And if you can, send me back some good news Genre Brazil Comment by djbetomachado nice 2024-06-02T16:47:10Z Comment by fuzz sonzeira 2024-05-26T20:05:04Z Comment by Jonathas Oliveira 6 Great edit!! 2024-05-11T04:20:41Z Comment by Matheus Santos lindo! 2024-05-09T02:29:40Z Comment by culturalcannibals2 ================= 2024-05-04T16:17:11Z Comment by KauecomK aasdasd 2024-05-03T22:54:19Z Comment by RAFFA So Awesome 2024-05-02T14:36:43Z Comment by L.A.VAL Great edit!! 2024-04-26T20:57:13Z Comment by Live88 !!! 2024-04-24T13:15:52Z Comment by djcrime6 fiumicino 2024-04-16T15:25:24Z Comment by Gabriel_Forbes All good\!!!! 2024-04-11T20:26:34Z Comment by Adrien Gautrand top 2024-04-11T11:29:35Z Comment by $ΔMPΔH !!!! 2024-03-23T09:52:08Z Comment by Louis and the Cat Love it 2024-03-15T20:41:14Z Comment by Jojo COOL 2024-03-15T08:21:51Z Comment by Dj Perfeito eita nois!!!! 2024-03-14T02:12:12Z Comment by Frenzy linda! 2024-03-09T00:05:56Z Comment by Luc Kless <3 2024-03-08T13:23:37Z Comment by tomas*h . 2024-02-27T07:13:02Z Comment by Aloisio Valois foda 2024-02-19T19:48:50Z Comment by Persio Semeraro wowww 2024-02-17T00:28:03Z Comment by Camila Oliver showw 2024-02-11T14:13:24Z Comment by carolbrota !!! 2024-02-11T03:32:40Z Comment by Camila Oliver showw 2024-02-10T17:40:01Z Comment by Misper top 2024-02-07T21:44:28Z Comment by PERSANTO cool 2024-02-07T06:46:51Z Comment by LaUrsa nicee 2024-02-02T04:05:21Z Comment by Nadim Attieh Love it 2024-01-22T20:57:46Z Comment by DJ Tudo Bem !!! 2024-01-20T05:58:18Z Comment by Breno Marques boaaa 2023-12-31T21:25:08Z
