It is about time a Brazilian singer whistled around here, isn't it? And few of them can represent our music as well as Caetano Veloso. You know him, right? Don't you? I can't believe... Well, for those who don't know him, here is a minibio about the guy.
Caetano Veloso is singer, composer and writer. He received much influence of João Gilberto early in his career. He, with others songwriters like Gilberto Gil and Tom Zé, was responsable by the creation of Tropicália Movement, at the end of the 60s, an artistic movement engaged in promote aesthetic and behavioral innovations. Currently, he is considered one of the biggest names of MPB (Brazilian Popular Music).
Movie lovers might reconize him now! Caetano appeared on one film by Pedro Almodóvar, the touching “Hable Con Ella”, singing Cucurrucucu Paloma, a mexican folk song, which, as says the character Marco, “ha puesto los pelos de punta”! However, who has good taste to like Almodóvar, surely has heard and appreciated Veloso. 8)
Now, let's go the to song!
“Trem das Cores” is in the 1982 album “Cores, Nomes”. It has the Bossa Nova style and was composed in tribute to the beautiful model and actress Sônia Braga. Unfornately, I haven't found any information about the whistle (this song, although amazing, isn't very known here), but I'm still searching.
Erm... In order: lyrics, song, video of his show in Rio de Janeiro and a picture of his muse:
A franja da encosta
Cor de laranja
Capim rosa chá
O mel desses olhos luz
Mel de cor ímpar
O ouro ainda não bem verde da serra
A prata do trem
A lua e a estrela
Anel de turquesa
Os átomos todos dançam
Madruga
Reluz neblina
Crianças cor de romã
Entram no vagão
O oliva da nuvem chumbo
Ficando
Pra trás da manhã
E a seda azul do papel
Que envolve a maçã
As casas tão verde e rosa
Que vão passando ao nos ver passar
Os dois lados da janela
E aquela num tom de azul
Quase inexistente, azul que não há
Azul que é pura memória de algum lugar
Teu cabelo preto
Explícito objeto
Castanhos lábios
Ou pra ser exato
Lábios cor de açaí
E aqui, trem das cores
Sábios projetos:
Tocar na central
E o céu de um azul
Celeste celestial
