Antônio Cícero by Antônio Cícero – a day, a month, an existence

Antônio Cícero just left – “A Francesa” – in French style, without notice, but with a note, dignity and giving us his brilliant mind, art, words, songs… If I could send him a reply I would use these words, his own words. Here is a collection of iPhone footage from our concert “Colourful Magic” in February 2024 celebrating the music 🎵 of his sister Marina Lima @marinalimax1 and his unforgettable lyrics … Thank you Antônio Cicero @antoniocicerocorreialima

“My love has left me , taking away my identity. I no longer know where I am, nor where is reality… If you left in French Style – without goodbyes – I would keep wondering forever… If I ask you to stay, oh please, my love, I swear to that I don’t want to let you down, nor leave you alone in the dark. But the happy moments are not hidden neither in the past nor in the future… You open your arms to me, and we make a full country. Therefore wherever you go, it is there that I will be… because I am pregnant, expecting an airplane ✈️, every time more pregnant, I am pregnant of ground. And I will get in labour over the city, when the night contracts, and when the sun dilates, I will give birth… What a such crazy world, what a overly crazy world, even crazier than myself. It is fever, it is love, and I want more. All I wish, seriously, it is all this mystery… A king (a being) like that, who cultivates solitude, a dark flower in his heart… searching for a way to find comfort, but not just for others…Men can do very little. Time always knows best how to act. The wait sometimes lasts a while: a day, a month, an existence.”
