O RECADO DA FLOR
Celso Sim (14) whatsapped me the poem, that he dedicated to me after I sung in his album homage to Jorge Mautner. It arrived in the week I was workin’ for my own album with Gustavo. As soon as I received the message, we hear music in what Celso had written. Moved I was I made it the song that closes the album. Our grand finale. Then, I called my friend João Donato that played one of the most beautiful solos I've ever heard. Just like me, João knows how to make birds noises and we included it in the song. Celso's lyrics explore the nature of my name. "A flower that surpasses spring itself".

Is always wonderful to record with João Donato. A bath of wisdom. The basic track evokes the album Gal Canta Caymmi, not just for the Dorival or Gal, but for Donato who penned and played some of the original arrangements of the tropicalista's album. Donato went wild. He recorded electric piano, Hammond organ, telling us that Walter Wanderley, in the 60's, had
presented him with a note explaining how to assemble the timbres of Hammond in its own way. Origin of what we use today as tutorial. He played Moog, made a beautiful solo and, to complete, filled with Tulipa some channels of birds chants.

lyrics
O RECADO DA FLOR
The song’s flower when sings
it's spring
It's cousin, sister and angel, it's a panther
I wish it in the height of autumn, winter and summer
The combustion of all ages
The dancing flower is divine and a divine beast
It's a woman in bloom and color and hummingbird
from the stratosphere
Could also, a plethora like that that accelerates
The fairy and the hag (ah)
The forest fall in despair (ah) The fagots and the flirts
A flower
that surpasses
the spring itself
