At Home with the Gils (2022–…): Season 2, Episode 6 - Episode #2.6 - full transcript
Going on tours, going places.
Developing this rapport
between artist and audience
is part of the work
we have been doing over the years.
There is an educational side to it,
as a sort of task
for an old father, an old grandfather.
All of that.

THE SHOW
When we're happy
It doesn't matter if it's cold
It doesn't matter if it's hot
Whatever
I forget about my commitment with this
That thing that happened ten minutes ago
Ten minutes for an idea
For a spider's web to grow and trap
Your life in the chain of thought
That from one moment to the next
Starts to hurt
When we're happy
People are people, cats are cats
A cockroach can be really cool
Everything you say should do you good
Nothing you eat should do you harm
When we're happy
We don't even think we're happy
We don't even want to think we're happy
We don't even think we're happy
We want
What we want is to live
When we're happy
It doesn't matter if it's hot
It doesn't matter if it's cold
Whatever
I forget about my commitment with this
That thing that happened ten minutes ago
Ten minutes for an idea
For a spider's web to grow and trap
Your life in the chain of thought
From one moment to the next starts to hurt
When we're happy
People are people, cats are cats
Cockroach can be a total high
Everything you say should do you good
Nothing you eat should do you harm
When we're happy
We don't even think we're happy
We don't even want to think we're happy
We want
We don't even want to think
We want
What we want is to live
From an artistic point of view,
there's something that facilitates...
the assessment of the value of the show.
It starts very well and ends very well.
-And there's your band...
-The first three songs are...
just right.
We...
The song, the meaning, the performance,
the girls, the backing vocals. Everything.
The start is just so good.

Let them know I'll come back later
I'll join the Olodum, which is full of joy
It's called a volcano
The bang echoes all over the world
In less than a minute
In seconds
Our people are those who bless
Who dance the most
The gringos tuned into the revelry
The gods equating all the charm
All the dance
The drums rolling, rewarding
Those who stay
Don't think about coming back
Affection at first sight
The kiss full of lipstick
That won't let go anymore
Identify the face expression
Let them know, let them know
Let them know, oh oh
Let them know I'm coming
Let them know, let them know
Let them know, oh oh

Good afternoon, Geneva!
Thank you so much
for your enthusiastic presence.
The popular music from Brazil.
Thank you!
It is a great pleasure for me personally.
And also, for the whole band.
Our family band.
My first daughter.
My first daughter.
Nara Gil.

Bem Gil.
Bento, son of Bem.
Dom.
Bem's other son.

Bem is prolific.
New to our family,
she married my son, José,
and they gave me
two little... granddaughters.
Mariá.
José.
Nino, the son of Bela.
My beloved granddaughter, Flor.
Since my family is here,
all together, making music, traveling,
traveling around the world all together,
I'll take the opportunity
to introduce the song
coming next.
It is a song about ancestry.
About ancestry.
Especially, the African ancestry,
that has such a special role
within Brazilian civilization.

The first criterion for me is myself.
Was the show good in my opinion?
-That's my first criterion.
-What was the criterion for you then?
I went there, I made few mistakes,
did the right things,
I had fun, I felt good on stage.
I had a nice communication
with the audience.
Especially the performance.
I played everything correctly.
I sang correctly.
That's the main criterion.
And in which show from the tour
did all of that happen?
The best one.
Which city, which concert?
-Which show had the majority of...
-Of these items fulfilled?
-Yeah, which one had the most?
-Geneva.
-Geneva?
-Yeah.
And then, the first show in...
-Copenhagen.
-The first one in Copenhagen was...
-Regular. The second one you loved.
-Right.

ESOTÉRICO
GILBERTO GIL - 1976
No point in abandoning me
Because there will always be mystery
Somewhere
People will love you even more
Even much harder than me for you
Than me, than two
Than ten, than ten million
All the same
And not that esoteric
If I am something incomprehensible
My God is more
There will always be mystery somewhere
No point in abandoning me
Not being so passionate, forget it
Who doesn't know how to swim
Who drowns for me
Let's sing together.
BRUSSELS

PALCO
GILBERTO GIL - 1980
Let's sing together now!
Let's go, Brazil!
I get on this stage
My soul smells like baby powder
Like a baby's bottom
Of a baby
My clear aura
Only those who are clairvoyant can see
Can see
I'll bring my band
Only those who know where Luanda is
Will know how to value it
Value it
It's worth what it weighs
For those who value
The crazy butt of the drum
Of the drum
Eternal fire to drive away
Hell to another place
Eternal fire to consume
Hell out of here
Out of here
Out of here
Out of here
I come to the party
I know many of them have
On their foreheads
The Sun God as a sign
As a sign
I, as a devotee
Bring a basket of joys from the backyard
From the backyard
There is also a pitcher
Goddess music is in charge
Asking to leave
To leave
Pour the balm
Make the pitcher sing
Eternal fire to drive away
Hell to another place
Eternal fire to consume
Hell out of here
Out of here
Out of here
Out of here
Let's sing together now!
Palco!
I made the setlist for this show.
I made the setlist for the show.
I chose each one
of the songs my children
and grandchildren chose in Araras.
Including my favorite part of the show,
which is Get Back.
When I arrived at the studio
there was a note from you.
PRETA GIL
DAUGHTER
I was like, "Grande Rio? What is that?"
"Garota de Ipanema, Get Back.
What is Grande Rio? What's this?"
-Grande Rio was...
-It's a samba-enredo.
It's the samba-enredo
about Exu I wish I could include.
But that's it.
That's what I wanted to clarify.
First, because...
of all the choices made
by my children and grandchildren,
there were over thirty songs.
It was too much.
We knew there would be a gap of a year...
BEM GIL
SON
...between that project and the tour.
And we couldn't just be
at a standstill all year.
Taking that into account,
what worked better for us
as a band, as performers,
-is incorporating it into the show.
-Barato Total...
-...revealed itself there.
-Exactly.
Esotérico, Barato Total,
Palco, Andar com Fé...
With everyone singing,
with this setting, with Bela dancing...
We got a few things
from that performance for the tour,
but we already knew
that a year later there'd be
a samba-enredo catching his attention,
a Beatles documentary
would catch his attention.
LIVERPOOL
ENGLAND
JoJo was a guy who thought he was
But he knew he wasn't
He left Pelotas, he went after the ivy
Summer vine
Easy, easy
Easy, this is the wrong way
Easy, easy
Easy, this is against the law
Sweet Loreta Martinica of cuíca
Many big boys liked it
They swear they saw Loreta
In men underwear
Together with the girls from Rio
Easy, easy
EXILE, LONDON
Easy, this is the wrong way
Easy, easy
Easy, this is against the law
Go, João!
Easy, easy
Easy, this is the wrong way
Easy, easy
Easy, this is against the law
I don't know. To me, it wasn't so...
BENTO GIL
GRANDSON
I wasn't so nervous.
And if I get nervous, I can't play.
-That's it.
-So I couldn't be nervous.
I wasn't thinking like...
You say it now,
but I heard you say many times,
"When they play the song before O Pato,
-No, I play Get Back...
-"I start freaking out."
-I play like...
-"I start playing desperately."
It's a bad song, I can't enjoy it.
-See?
-I'm thinking, "I'm next."
"There's nothing I can do now."
LONDON
ENGLAND
The duck
Was singing joyfully
Quack, quack
When a smiley Maroon asked
To join the samba, samba, samba
The goose
Liked the duo and also made
Quack, quack
He looked at the swan and said,
"Come, come!"
And the quartet will be fine
Very good, very good
On the edge of the pond
They went to rehearse to start
The tico tico
The duck's voice was really outrageous
Scene play with the goose was bush
But I liked the ending
When they fell in the water
Rehearsing the vocal
Quack, quack
Quack, quack
Quack, quack
Quack, quack
Quack, quack
Quack, quack
Quack, quack
Quack, quack
Quack, quack
Quack, quack
Quack, quack
Quack, quack
The duck
Bento!
NARBONNE
FRANCE
Look, what a beautiful thing
So gracious
Is that girl that comes and goes
With a sweet swing on her way to the sea
Girl with a tanned body
By the Sun of Ipanema
Your swing is more than a poem
It's the most beautiful thing
I've ever seen go by
Oh, why am I so lonely?
Oh, why is everything so sad?
Oh, the beauty that exists
The beauty that's not just mine
Which also passes alone
Oh, if she knew
That when she goes
The whole world is filled with joy
And gets more beautiful because of love
Can I talk as a mother now?
I was very proud of you singing.
BELA GIL
DAUGHTER
I didn't know you were singing
Garota de Ipanema.
I didn't know Bento
was going to play O Pato.
I didn't know you would sing Era Nova.
On the first show I almost fainted
because it was so beautiful.
PORTOROŽ
SLOVENIA
They talk so much about a new age
They almost forget of the eternal now
Just that you can hear me now
It already means it's possible
A new time always starts
In every instant you live
The past is gone, and there's no age
No matter how new that can
Bring back
The time you lost, lost
It doesn't come back
Although the world, the world
Goes around so much
Although looking at the world causes
So much fear
Or maybe so much anger
The truth is always on time
Although you think it's not
Like your hair is growing now
Without you even realize it
The hairs of eternity
Are longer than the current times
They're longer than the past times
Are longer than the times of
The age new
The new, new, new, new, new age
The new age, age, age, age, age
The new, new, new, new, new age
The new age, age, age, age, age
Which always was and always is to be born
They talk so much
Flor!
Gil Demasi.
And another unique point
about this trip
is imagining what my grandma Belina
would think...
-Jesus, don't even say it!
-...in that moment...
LUCAS GIL
GRANDSON
...watching her four grandchildren
on the stage
with my grandpa.
And I think having her song in the show
sung by my aunt Nara
is something very unique.
And...
That makes me feel
like she's with us on stage.
And I think...
-That she would be...
-She is with us.
-She is with us.
-She is very happy.
To see João playing with Grandpa...
She didn't get to see that.
She didn't get to see João
with my grandpa.
She would see all of us with Grandpa.
And I think...
-"The Belinos."
-Yes, "the Belinos."
-She would be...
-She is with us.
She is.
A song that I wrote for her mother.
Nara, sing that song to us.
Love doesn't have to end
I want and I know I'll come
Until the end I'll love you
Until the life in me decides to fade
Love doesn't have to end
I want and I know I'll come
Until the end I'll love you
Until the life in me decides to fade
Love is like a rose in the garden
We take care, we look
We let the sun shine
To grow, to grow
The rose of love always has to grow
The rose of love won't lose its petals
For those who take good care of the rose
For those who know how to cultivate
Love doesn't have to end
Until the end of my life I will love you
I know that love
Doesn't have, doesn't have to end
Until the end of my life I will love you
I know that love doesn't have to end
Until the end of my life I will
Nara Aguiar Gil!
A song for us to sing together.
To clap our hands.
Bela Gil.
I'll walk with faith
Faith doesn't usually fail
I'll walk with faith
Faith doesn't usually fail
Come on, Copenhagen!
I'll walk with faith
Faith doesn't usually fail
I'll walk with faith
Faith doesn't usually fail
Faith is in the woman
Faith is in the coral snake
In a piece of bread
Faith is in the tide
It's in the blade of a dagger
Sad in loneliness
I'll walk with faith
Faith doesn't usually fail
I'll walk with faith
Faith doesn't usually fail, hey girl
I'll walk with faith
Faith doesn't usually fail
I'll walk with faith
Faith doesn't usually fail
Faith is in the morning
Faith is in the evening
In the summer heat
Faith is safe and sound
Faith is also about to die
Sad in loneliness
I'll walk with faith
Faith doesn't usually fail
I'll walk with faith
Faith doesn't usually fail, hey girl
I'll walk with faith
Faith doesn't usually fail
I'll walk with faith
Faith doesn't usually fail
Right or even wrong
Faith goes wherever I go
On foot or by plane
Or by plane
Even for those who don't have faith
Faith usually accompanies
Just in case, just in case
I'll walk with faith
Faith doesn't usually fail
I'll walk with faith
Faith doesn't usually fail, hey girl
I'll walk with faith
Faith doesn't usually fail
I'll walk with faith
Faith doesn't usually fail
Faith doesn't usually fail
I'll walk with faith
Faith doesn't usually fail
Faith doesn't usually fail
I'll walk with faith
Faith doesn't usually fail
Faith doesn't usually fail
I'll walk with faith
Faith doesn't usually fail
Faith doesn't usually fail
I'll walk with faith
Faith doesn't usually fail
Faith doesn't usually fail
I'll walk with faith
Faith doesn't usually fail
Faith doesn't usually fail
I'll walk with faith
Faith doesn't usually fail
I'll walk with faith
Faith doesn't usually fail
I'll walk with faith
Faith doesn't usually fail
Letting you
Go
Won't be good
It won't be
Good for you
Or better for me
To think
All it takes
Is stop seeing you
And it's over
Will be so much worse
Letting you
Go
Won't be good
It won't be
Good for you
Or better for me
To think
All it takes
Is stop seeing you
And it's over
Will be so much worse
Why lie
And pretend that the horizon
Ends right in front of us
And the bridge ends here?
Let's move on
And reinvent the space
Together keep up the pace
Without getting tired
Don't believe in the end
In the end of love
Oh no
Some pain
Maybe
Light is born in the darkness
Keep everything in your heart
The feeling of being
on stage with Grandpa...
FRANCISCO GIL
GRANDSON
...takes history to another level.
It's crazy.
Because that space he gives us on stage
puts everyone on the same level,
musically speaking.
I think this show is a great work
of his generosity.
For sure!
My father is a generous person,
but he is vain with his music.
When he gives us that space,
when he says,
"Go on, Fran, sing your song.
Gilsons, Flor..."
And I sing two songs of mine.
I think I'm the only one
who doesn't sing his music.
I sing my repertoire,
because he told me to sing my songs.
It's his way of showing how proud he is
of us, of what we are.
And I see that pride in his eyes.
It's me
The one who smokes, who drinks, who sleeps
Who speaks, who yells, who bites
Who pays, who loses, who suffers
It's me
The one who is born owing, who runs
Who is ghetto, who is gay, who is poor
Man and woman
Go bless yourself
Don't pretend to be a saint
I'm not like you
I don't believe what I see on TV
My blood is strong, of noble origin
Black, white, indigenous, I am
I am me, tell me who you are
I am, tell me who you are
I am me, tell me who you are
I am, tell me who you are
Preta, my dear.
Beautiful daughter.
It's me
The one who smokes, who drinks, who sleeps
Who speaks, who yells, who bites
Who pays, who loses, who suffers
It's me
The one who is born owing, who runs
Who is ghetto, who is gay, who is poor
Man and woman
Go bless yourself
Don't pretend to be a saint
I'm not like you
I don't believe what I see on TV
My blood is strong, of noble origin
Black, white, indigenous, I am
I am me, tell me who you are
Who are you up there?
I am, tell me who you are
Tell me who you are back there!
Tell me who you are
I am, tell me who you are
I'm proud to be Brazilian!
I am, tell me who you are
Shake it!
Tell me who you are
I am, tell me who you are
Tell me who you are
Tell me who you are
Tell me who you are
Tell me who you are
Preta Maria!
I was saying that I saw Dad
become emotional at several moments
during the show.
At different shows, but always in...
I believe it was in Geneva,
Nara was singing
and his eyes were filled with tears.
It was so beautiful to see.
In another moment it was Bento, and so on.
So, every show,
in every show, at some point,
he gets deeply emotional
and it overflows in his eyes.
The monopoly of the emotion.
Right.
We were talking
about the monopoly of attention,
but we also have this, each...
each moment monopolizes
the emotion and...
there's this extraordinary feeling
that only happens
when I'm with all of you.
I just have to thank you.
All right.
This samba
goes to Dorival Caymmi,
João Gilberto
and Caetano Veloso.

Any other ordinary place
Any other place
Guaporé, Guaporé
Any other place in the sun
Another place in the south
Blue sky, blue sky
Where there's only my naked body
With your naked body
Let's get away
From this place, baby
Let's get away
Where there's a toboggan
Where we slide
Every morning
Flowers that we water
A piece of apple
Another reggae band
I'm tired of waiting
For you to carry me
Thank you all so much.

GILBERTO GIL - 1985
In the shacks of the city
Nobody else has any hope
In the power of authority
To make the decision
And the power of authority
If you can, you don't insist
If you insist, you can't
Face the shark
Stupid people
LONDON
ENGLAND
Hypocrite people
The governor promises
But the system says no
The profits are very high
But nobody wants to give up
Even a small part
Would already be the solution
But the usury of these people
Has already become a handicap
Stupid people
Hypocrite people
Let me hear you, Geneva!
Stupid people
Hypocrite people

THE SHOW
When we're happy
It doesn't matter if it's cold
It doesn't matter if it's hot
Whatever
I forget about my commitment with this
That thing that happened ten minutes ago
Ten minutes for an idea
For a spider's web to grow and trap
Your life in the chain of thought
That from one moment to the next
Starts to hurt
When we're happy
People are people, cats are cats
A cockroach can be really cool
Everything you say should do you good
Nothing you eat should do you harm
When we're happy
We don't even think we're happy
We don't even want to think we're happy
We don't even think we're happy

From one moment to the next starts to hurt
When we're happy
People are people, cats are cats
Cockroach can be a total high
Everything you say should do you good
Nothing you eat should do you harm
When we're happy
We don't even think we're happy
We don't even want to think we're happy
We want
We don't even want to think
We want
What we want is to live
From an artistic point of view,
there's something that facilitates...
the assessment of the value of the show.
It starts very well and ends very well.
-And there's your band...
-The first three songs are...
just right.
We...
The song, the meaning, the performance,
the girls, the backing vocals. Everything.
The start is just so good.

Let them know I'll come back later
I'll join the Olodum, which is full of joy
It's called a volcano
The bang echoes all over the world
In less than a minute
In seconds
Our people are those who bless
Who dance the most
The gringos tuned into the revelry
The gods equating all the charm
All the dance
The drums rolling, rewarding
Those who stay
Don't think about coming back
Affection at first sight
The kiss full of lipstick
That won't let go anymore
Identify the face expression
Let them know, let them know
Let them know, oh oh

Since my family is here,
all together, making music, traveling,
traveling around the world all together,
I'll take the opportunity
to introduce the song

It is a song about ancestry.
About ancestry.
Especially, the African ancestry,
that has such a special role
within Brazilian civilization.

The first criterion for me is myself.
Was the show good in my opinion?
-That's my first criterion.
-What was the criterion for you then?
I went there, I made few mistakes,
did the right things,
I had fun, I felt good on stage.
I had a nice communication
with the audience.
Especially the performance.
I played everything correctly.
I sang correctly.
That's the main criterion.
And in which show from the tour
did all of that happen?
The best one.
Which city, which concert?
-Which show had the majority of...
-Of these items fulfilled?
-Yeah, which one had the most?
-Geneva.
-Geneva?
-Yeah.
And then, the first show in...
-Copenhagen.
-The first one in Copenhagen was...
-Regular. The second one you loved.
-Right.

ESOTÉRICO
GILBERTO GIL - 1976
No point in abandoning me
Because there will always be mystery
Somewhere
People will love you even more
Even much harder than me for you
Than me, than two
Than ten, than ten million
All the same
And not that esoteric
If I am something incomprehensible
My God is more
There will always be mystery somewhere
No point in abandoning me
Not being so passionate, forget it
Who doesn't know how to swim
Who drowns for me
Let's sing together.

PALCO
GILBERTO GIL - 1980
Let's sing together now!
Let's go, Brazil!
I get on this stage
My soul smells like baby powder
Like a baby's bottom
Of a baby
My clear aura
Only those who are clairvoyant can see
Can see
I'll bring my band
Only those who know where Luanda is
Will know how to value it
Value it
It's worth what it weighs
For those who value
The crazy butt of the drum
Of the drum
Eternal fire to drive away
Hell to another place
Eternal fire to consume
Hell out of here
Out of here
Out of here
Out of here
I come to the party
I know many of them have
On their foreheads
The Sun God as a sign
As a sign
I, as a devotee
Bring a basket of joys from the backyard
From the backyard
There is also a pitcher
Goddess music is in charge
Asking to leave
To leave
Pour the balm
Make the pitcher sing
Eternal fire to drive away
Hell to another place
Eternal fire to consume
Hell out of here
Out of here
Out of here
Out of here
Let's sing together now!
Palco!
I made the setlist for this show.
I made the setlist for the show.
I chose each one
of the songs my children
and grandchildren chose in Araras.
Including my favorite part of the show,
which is Get Back.
When I arrived at the studio
there was a note from you.
PRETA GIL
DAUGHTER
I was like, "Grande Rio? What is that?"
"Garota de Ipanema, Get Back.
What is Grande Rio? What's this?"
-Grande Rio was...
-It's a samba-enredo.
It's the samba-enredo
about Exu I wish I could include.
But that's it.
That's what I wanted to clarify.
First, because...
of all the choices made
by my children and grandchildren,
there were over thirty songs.
It was too much.
We knew there would be a gap of a year...
BEM GIL
SON
...between that project and the tour.
And we couldn't just be
at a standstill all year.
Taking that into account,
what worked better for us
as a band, as performers,
-is incorporating it into the show.
-Barato Total...
-...revealed itself there.
-Exactly.
Esotérico, Barato Total,
Palco, Andar com Fé...
With everyone singing,
with this setting, with Bela dancing...
We got a few things
from that performance for the tour,
but we already knew
that a year later there'd be
a samba-enredo catching his attention,
a Beatles documentary
would catch his attention.
LIVERPOOL

JoJo was a guy who thought he was

Easy, this is the wrong way

Sweet Loreta Martinica of cuíca

They swear they saw Loreta
In men underwear

EXILE, LONDON
Easy, this is the wrong way
Easy, easy

Go, João!
Easy, easy
Easy, this is the wrong way
Easy, easy
Easy, this is against the law
I don't know. To me, it wasn't so...
BENTO GIL
GRANDSON
I wasn't so nervous.
And if I get nervous, I can't play.
-That's it.
-So I couldn't be nervous.
I wasn't thinking like...
You say it now,
but I heard you say many times,
"When they play the song before O Pato,
-No, I play Get Back...
-"I start freaking out."
-I play like...
-"I start playing desperately."
It's a bad song, I can't enjoy it.
-See?
-I'm thinking, "I'm next."
"There's nothing I can do now."

The duck
Was singing joyfully
Quack, quack
When a smiley Maroon asked
To join the samba, samba, samba
The goose
Liked the duo and also made
Quack, quack
He looked at the swan and said,
"Come, come!"
And the quartet will be fine
Very good, very good
On the edge of the pond
They went to rehearse to start
The tico tico
The duck's voice was really outrageous
Scene play with the goose was bush
But I liked the ending
When they fell in the water
Rehearsing the vocal
Quack, quack
Quack, quack
Quack, quack
Quack, quack
Quack, quack
Quack, quack
Quack, quack
Quack, quack
Quack, quack
Quack, quack
Quack, quack
Quack, quack
The duck
Bento!

Look, what a beautiful thing
So gracious
Is that girl that comes and goes
With a sweet swing on her way to the sea
Girl with a tanned body
By the Sun of Ipanema
Your swing is more than a poem
It's the most beautiful thing
I've ever seen go by
Oh, why am I so lonely?
Oh, why is everything so sad?
Oh, the beauty that exists
The beauty that's not just mine
Which also passes alone
Oh, if she knew
That when she goes
The whole world is filled with joy
And gets more beautiful because of love
Can I talk as a mother now?
I was very proud of you singing.
BELA GIL
DAUGHTER
I didn't know you were singing
Garota de Ipanema.
I didn't know Bento
was going to play O Pato.
I didn't know you would sing Era Nova.
On the first show I almost fainted
because it was so beautiful.
PORTOROŽ
SLOVENIA
They talk so much about a new age
They almost forget of the eternal now
Just that you can hear me now
It already means it's possible
A new time always starts
In every instant you live
The past is gone, and there's no age
No matter how new that can
Bring back
The time you lost, lost
It doesn't come back
Although the world, the world
Goes around so much
Although looking at the world causes
So much fear
Or maybe so much anger
The truth is always on time
Although you think it's not
Like your hair is growing now
Without you even realize it
The hairs of eternity
Are longer than the current times
They're longer than the past times
Are longer than the times of
The age new
The new, new, new, new, new age
The new age, age, age, age, age
The new, new, new, new, new age
The new age, age, age, age, age
Which always was and always is to be born
They talk so much
Flor!
Gil Demasi.
And another unique point
about this trip
is imagining what my grandma Belina
would think...
-Jesus, don't even say it!
-...in that moment...
LUCAS GIL
GRANDSON
...watching her four grandchildren
on the stage
with my grandpa.
And I think having her song in the show
sung by my aunt Nara
is something very unique.
And...
That makes me feel
like she's with us on stage.
And I think...
-That she would be...
-She is with us.
-She is with us.
-She is very happy.
To see João playing with Grandpa...
She didn't get to see that.
She didn't get to see João
with my grandpa.
She would see all of us with Grandpa.
And I think...
-"The Belinos."
-Yes, "the Belinos."
-She would be...
-She is with us.
She is.
A song that I wrote for her mother.
Nara, sing that song to us.
Love doesn't have to end
I want and I know I'll come
Until the end I'll love you
Until the life in me decides to fade
Love doesn't have to end
I want and I know I'll come
Until the end I'll love you
Until the life in me decides to fade
Love is like a rose in the garden
We take care, we look
We let the sun shine
To grow, to grow
The rose of love always has to grow
The rose of love won't lose its petals
For those who take good care of the rose
For those who know how to cultivate
Love doesn't have to end
Until the end of my life I will love you
I know that love
Doesn't have, doesn't have to end
Until the end of my life I will love you
I know that love doesn't have to end
Until the end of my life I will
Nara Aguiar Gil!
A song for us to sing together.
To clap our hands.
Bela Gil.
I'll walk with faith
Faith doesn't usually fail
I'll walk with faith
Faith doesn't usually fail
Come on, Copenhagen!
I'll walk with faith
Faith doesn't usually fail
I'll walk with faith
Faith doesn't usually fail
Faith is in the woman
Faith is in the coral snake
In a piece of bread
Faith is in the tide
It's in the blade of a dagger
Sad in loneliness
I'll walk with faith
Faith doesn't usually fail
I'll walk with faith
Faith doesn't usually fail, hey girl
I'll walk with faith
Faith doesn't usually fail
I'll walk with faith
Faith doesn't usually fail
Faith is in the morning
Faith is in the evening
In the summer heat
Faith is safe and sound
Faith is also about to die
Sad in loneliness
I'll walk with faith
Faith doesn't usually fail
I'll walk with faith
Faith doesn't usually fail, hey girl
I'll walk with faith
Faith doesn't usually fail
I'll walk with faith
Faith doesn't usually fail
Right or even wrong
Faith goes wherever I go
On foot or by plane
Or by plane
Even for those who don't have faith
Faith usually accompanies
Just in case, just in case
I'll walk with faith
Faith doesn't usually fail
I'll walk with faith
Faith doesn't usually fail, hey girl
I'll walk with faith
Faith doesn't usually fail
I'll walk with faith
Faith doesn't usually fail
Faith doesn't usually fail
I'll walk with faith
Faith doesn't usually fail
Faith doesn't usually fail
I'll walk with faith
Faith doesn't usually fail
Faith doesn't usually fail
I'll walk with faith
Faith doesn't usually fail
Faith doesn't usually fail
I'll walk with faith
Faith doesn't usually fail
Faith doesn't usually fail
I'll walk with faith
Faith doesn't usually fail
Faith doesn't usually fail
I'll walk with faith
Faith doesn't usually fail
I'll walk with faith
Faith doesn't usually fail
I'll walk with faith
Faith doesn't usually fail
Letting you
Go
Won't be good
It won't be
Good for you
Or better for me
To think
All it takes
Is stop seeing you
And it's over
Will be so much worse
Letting you
Go
Won't be good
It won't be
Good for you
Or better for me
To think
All it takes
Is stop seeing you
And it's over
Will be so much worse
Why lie
And pretend that the horizon
Ends right in front of us
And the bridge ends here?
Let's move on
And reinvent the space
Together keep up the pace
Without getting tired
Don't believe in the end
In the end of love
Oh no
Some pain
Maybe
Light is born in the darkness
Keep everything in your heart
The feeling of being
on stage with Grandpa...
FRANCISCO GIL
GRANDSON
...takes history to another level.
It's crazy.
Because that space he gives us on stage
puts everyone on the same level,
musically speaking.
I think this show is a great work
of his generosity.
For sure!
My father is a generous person,
but he is vain with his music.
When he gives us that space,
when he says,
"Go on, Fran, sing your song.
Gilsons, Flor..."
And I sing two songs of mine.
I think I'm the only one
who doesn't sing his music.
I sing my repertoire,
because he told me to sing my songs.
It's his way of showing how proud he is
of us, of what we are.
And I see that pride in his eyes.
It's me
The one who smokes, who drinks, who sleeps
Who speaks, who yells, who bites
Who pays, who loses, who suffers
It's me
The one who is born owing, who runs
Who is ghetto, who is gay, who is poor
Man and woman
Go bless yourself
Don't pretend to be a saint
I'm not like you
I don't believe what I see on TV
My blood is strong, of noble origin
Black, white, indigenous, I am
I am me, tell me who you are
I am, tell me who you are
I am me, tell me who you are
I am, tell me who you are
Preta, my dear.
Beautiful daughter.
It's me
The one who smokes, who drinks, who sleeps
Who speaks, who yells, who bites
Who pays, who loses, who suffers
It's me
The one who is born owing, who runs
Who is ghetto, who is gay, who is poor
Man and woman
Go bless yourself
Don't pretend to be a saint
I'm not like you
I don't believe what I see on TV
My blood is strong, of noble origin
Black, white, indigenous, I am
I am me, tell me who you are
Who are you up there?
I am, tell me who you are
Tell me who you are back there!
Tell me who you are
I am, tell me who you are
I'm proud to be Brazilian!
I am, tell me who you are
Shake it!
Tell me who you are
I am, tell me who you are
Tell me who you are
Tell me who you are
Tell me who you are
Tell me who you are
Preta Maria!
I was saying that I saw Dad
become emotional at several moments
during the show.
At different shows, but always in...
I believe it was in Geneva,
Nara was singing
and his eyes were filled with tears.
It was so beautiful to see.
In another moment it was Bento, and so on.
So, every show,
in every show, at some point,
he gets deeply emotional
and it overflows in his eyes.
The monopoly of the emotion.
Right.
We were talking
about the monopoly of attention,
but we also have this, each...
each moment monopolizes
the emotion and...
there's this extraordinary feeling
that only happens
when I'm with all of you.
I just have to thank you.
All right.
This samba
goes to Dorival Caymmi,
João Gilberto
and Caetano Veloso.

Where there's only my naked body
With your naked body
Let's get away
From this place, baby
Let's get away
Where there's a toboggan
Where we slide
Every morning
Flowers that we water
A piece of apple
Another reggae band
I'm tired of waiting
For you to carry me
Thank you all so much.
