Santo de Barro

Influenced by Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, João Gilberto, Milton Nascimento, Dorival Caymmi. Caitano Velosso was raised as an only child in a Salvador apartment filled with his librarian mother's poetry books. A late-bloomer socially, he still finds his truest companions in his two childhood friends and the quiet histories of his coastal city. He pays his rent working as an archivist at the same library his mother once ran. These songs are written on his father's old nylon-string guitar, late at night on his balcony, turning the day's quiet observations into gentle, philosophical Tropicália.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
O seu santo de barro no parapeito da janela,
tem um risco azul na túnica, um grão de areia nela.
Eu rego a samambaia que já virou só poeira,
uma oração que eu faço a manhã inteira.

[Chorus]
Minha fé é a raiz crescendo na rachadura.
Eu converso com o barro, espero pela sua cura.
Minha religião é essa sala e o seu cheiro.
Santo de barro, me devolve o ano inteiro.

[Verse 2]
A chave ainda pendura no prego enferrujado.
“Cuida bem dele pra mim”, você disse do meu lado.
Foi em junho, o São João queimava no Terreiro,
e o cheiro de acarajé subia o dia inteiro.

[Chorus]
Minha fé é a raiz crescendo na rachadura.
Eu converso com o barro, espero pela sua cura.
Minha religião é essa sala e o seu cheiro.
Santo de barro, me devolve o ano inteiro.

[Bridge]
A tinta da parede começa a descascar.
Ninguém me avisou que a semente não ia brotar.
Será que a minha prece não tem água suficiente?

[Outro]
O seu santo de barro...
...ainda espera.
