This song strongly criticizes the Brazilian dictatorship. There’s a play on words there: cálice (cup, goblet) sounds exactly like cale-se (shut your mouth, don’t speak)

[@FrankValchiria]

marvelous explanation

[@lizfreitas4977]

São palavras homófonas.

[@SophiaCosta]

yes, perfect explanation. Is a religious metaphore for the ditactorial period in Brazil.

[@marcospedrosa3050]

"Cálice", this word has double meaning: "cup(of wine)" literally, but it sounds also exactly like "Cale-se" (Shut up!).

It was a way to get around the military censorship... Metaphorically is Christ last words, we use this expression in conversations to say "if you can save me from this predicament"... When we know something is about to happen...

[@carlosmauricioardissone4736]

Frank, the lyrics of the song make a play on the word "Cálice" which was the instrument used by Jesus at Holy Communion to institute Communion through wine and his suffering in the Garden of Getsmani. “Cálice”, “phonetically” is similar in portuguese to "Cale-se" which in Portuguese means “shut up”. It is an allusion to the period of dictatorship and censorship. Everything metaphorical.

[@marinelsonalmeida3325]

Perfect. That's exactly it.

[@miltonc770]

O Frank vasculha músicas do mundo inteiro. Não tem tempo, mas bem que podia dar uma pesquisada rápida no que se refere as músicas que comenta, sobretudo de músicos mais sérios. Evitaria de ficar com opinião muito restrita e de perder os sentidos e grandiosidades das músicas.

[@eduardobenicio7180]

Valeu Carlos por passar o outro significado para o Frank. Em tempos como estes, esta musica ganha outras notas.

[@carlosesr.5292]

"Vinho tinto de sangue" as well a metaphor intended to mean "blood dyed wine". "Vinho tinto" means "red wine" but "tinto" can mean - and that's the case here - "tingido" or "dyed". That's a reference to torture and killing by regimen.

Chico usa as metáforas lindamente... Em "Joana francesa" ele também faz isso lindamente.

[@sergiocamargo9208]

He plays with the word "Cálice" (cup, chalice) and the comand "cale-se!" (shut up!). from the Bible: Pai, se queres, afasta de mim este cálice" (Marcos 14:36). This metaphor express a criticism about dictatorship's political censorship.

Foi um período terrível que ,que nossos Pais passaram, sofreram,sem puder falar o que pensava,tudo era censurado,e se eles achavam que estamos fazendo coisas que eles,no caso os militares,seria punidos,então os artistas músicos,compositores, escritores,usavam sua criatividade cm a música ou artes para protestar

[@lorig725]

This song cut as a sharp knife. Beautiful and strong

[@felipebuchinsky]

When you discover that Cálice (cup) is Cale-se (shut up), the whole letter changes its meaning, but the theme of Christ's passion continues as an analogy of the torment of the Brazilian people during the dictatorship. When it was performed at a music festival, the lyrics were censored and they just had to hum, no lyrics. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJq3kIx-q7qHntk

[@Danilogon2009]

The unsettling ritm and the alerting sensation that the song evokes is perfectly conected with the unsettling times Brazil was going through that time. Bravo!

[@ilzamjmoreira7269]

Em uma época (Ditadura Militar) em que tudo era censurado, a criatividade de nossos artistas (dos gênios, pelo menos) extrapolou. Uma letra, que passaria pela tal censura, como uma espécie de oração, na verdade expunha toda a revolta pelo controle que o Estado tentava exercer sobre tudo e todos e os perigos para quem não se submetia. Chico Buarque é um compositor, escritor e cidadão incrível. Milton Nascimento tem uma voz privilegiada. Ótimo encontro dos dois.

[@emaildalaura]

Chico é tão genial que ele fazia musicas lindas com conteúdo politico pra driblar a ditadura (imagino que ele conseguiu várias vezes)

"cálice" besides cup sounds like "cale-se" in portuguese, wich means "shut up". It's a metaphor to censorship that was hard in that period (military dictatorship in Brazil). This song is a protest against the violency of the dictatorship.

[@otavioilibio]

"Cálice" and "Cale-se", same pronunciation in portuguese. Protest against the Brazilian military dictatorship in which he tortured and killed political appositors.

[@Mr17051963]

Cálice means “Graal”. And Cale-se means “Shut Up”. But they sound the same, in portuguese. So the lyrics play with the two meanings, in a very political tone.

Cálice, apenas se for de vinho tinto. Chico é um dos nossos maiores compositores e é um dos maiores compositores do mundo. Suas músicas são verdadeiramente eruditas e as metáforas são só uma das técnicas de linguagem utilizadas. A música é atualíssima também, devido a estes momentos obscuros que passamos pelo Brasil.

Cálice is the a homophone for cale-se, imperative for shut up! It's a criticism towards the Censorship Department of the fascist military dictatorship that took over Brazil in the 60s until the late 80s. The lyrics here are amazing! Pure poetry. Chico Buarque won the Camões Prize, the equivalent to the Literature Nobel for the Portuguese language.

[@gabrieltavares6903]

Great song. As everybody has already said, this song talks about the censorship and it makes a play on the words "Cálice" and "Cale-se". This song was written by Chico Buarque and Gilberto Gil in 1973 and it was censored by the military government. The last part of the video shows a piece of a concert called "Phono 73", that reunited the singers who were a part of Phonogram's cast (Phonogram was a holding company that owned some record labels, such as Philips, Fontana, Vertigo...). As the song lyrics were censored, Chico Buarque and Gilberto Gil decided to hum the melody in that concert. However, a government agent turned off the mic sound. As you can see, Chico Buarque screams at the microphone, but there was no sound. This event became very famous by showing that the censorship was real and could happen to anyone, especially the artists.

Ele interpretou errado também. Essa música não tem nada de religiosa, ela usa passagens bíblicas (e outras metáforas) para que a censura não entendesse o que ele estava dizendo e assim a música pudesse chegar ao público. Tudo que ele fala nessa música é contra a ditadura militar, contra a censura, contra as prisões ilegais dos que foram arrancados de suas casas na calada da noite, contra a tortura e contra o sumiço dado aos corpos dos que morreram e nunca puderam contar suas histórias....estude mais sobre ela.

[@groegtrebreh]

Chico Buarque was one of the most strong critics of the dictatorship regime among musicians! His lyrics were heavily censored and he had to develop very sophisticated metaphores. This music is one that is absolutely embedded with such metaphores and also lots of word playing.

[@jabamachine22]

Milton Nascimento é o melhor cantor da MPB na minha opinião. .

[@murilocostarosa]

I know many people already said it, but I just wanted to add some more information. As most of the comments state, Cálice (cup or goblet) and Cale-se (shut up) sound the same. Beyond that, the song's lyrics is full of references and hints to the brazilian military dictatorship. "Cheirar fumaça de óleo diesel" means "to inhale diesel oil smoke", which was one of the many killing methods used by the military. "De muito gorda a porca já não anda" means "Because it's too fat, the pig doesn't walk anymore" and references to the daughter of one of the people responsible for the censorship. The clip in the end of the video is a recording from a concert in which both the composers (Chico Buarque and Gilberto Gil) try to sing the song live. Chico Buarque's microphone audio is cut off because of the intense criticism in the lyrics. Even when they try to just hum the lyrics, they are censored live. It comes to a point where Chico sings "Arroz à grega", a rice dish in Brazil. That is because the censored articles in newspapers and such things where substituted by food recipes. The crowd goes completely mad and it's just such an amazing way to protest that this song is the most iconic when it comes to resisting and etc.

Brazilian popular music was one of the main instruments used to challenge the military dictatorship (1964-1985). All songs within that period, can have context against the dictatorship subscribed. Pointing out direct dissatisfaction or using metaphors, they had to exile themselves to avoid successive calls for statements and the possibility of imprisonment. "Take that chalice away from me... ~" (No more dictatorship, no more militarism)

Essa música é cheia de analogias, mensagens subliminares, em referência ao período da Ditadura Militar (20 anos). As letras das músicas eram muito censuradas. Os poetas criavam linguagens figuradas. Por exemplo: Cálice corresponde a Cale-se(do verbo calar). Mesmo som, sentidos diferentes. Aí reside a genialidade do Chico Buarque de Holanda, em conseguir transmitir mensagens subtentidas.

[@patriciarodrigues8483]

Obra prima 🌹

[@Gabrielnobre]

Frank, most of Chico's musics (That song was writen by Chico Buarque) of that period spoke against the Military Dictatorship. But there were a huge censorship as well, so he had to make those GENIUS metaphores to fool the censorship and then get his music published. When he says "Father (God), take away from me this chalice, filled with red wine made of blood" he is praying to God that the Dictatorship (the one who fills the chalice with blood) is over. When he says that "he gets hurt at night and wants to scream an inhuman scream" he is reffering to the thousands that were taken away from their houses at night to be tortured and to never be seen again (that's why the scream is inhuman, because those people were never found and never had a proper funeral, so they were treated as something not human, less than human, and they could never scream/Tell their history...and so goes on...) this song is TOTAL LEGEND! If you want I can translate it propperly for you. ;D

the last video was from the censured live performance. The could sing the music but without saying the word “ cálice “ that means shut up also, so they just silence whem the word should be spoken.

The last part of the video took part when Chico Buarque and Gilberto Gil were trying to present the song at a festival and it was forbidden by the censorship. As they could not say the lyrics, they started humming the melody. So their microphones were shut and the audience started to scream and boo, not the singers but the government and censorship. That's historical...

[@carloshenriqueKlein]

This song is a criticism of the dictatorship... "afasta de mim esse cálice" refers to the censorship "afasta de mim esse cale-se"... cálice - cup ; cale-se = shut up

Brazilian MPB, is fantastic, Milton Nascimento and Chico Buarque.

It's always interesting to see foreigner's interpretations of the songs, cause we, as brazilians, understand the double meanings and context. But a song belongs to those who listen to it and not really to the composers anymore. So it can be seen by several perspectives that consider the lyrics itself, without knowing what was going on in the time. I liked the way you put it as religious discussion, never saw it that way.

That part in the of the vídeo is a live performance of "Cálice", with Chico Buarque and Gilberto Gil, the composers. The song was censored in the day of the show, so Chico and Gil decided to sing the melody with random words. Even though the censors turned all the mikes off. So Chico gave up and said "vamos ao que pode", that means "let's go to what's allowed".

The lyrics refer to the time of military dictatorship in Brazil. The songs were covered in screaming silence and words with more than one meaning.
