Legend has it that in 1976, when the Military Dictatorship was already showing signs of weakening, leftists suffered in European exile. Among them, the playwright Augusto Boal, who enjoyed the Atlantic breeze in post-Salazar Lisbon. With little to do but foster the socialist utopia in his imagination, Boal would have complained about his friends’ silence. Among them, Chico Buarque – who, I believe, needs no further biographical and ideological presentations.

“Leave it to me!”, would have said Chico Buarque, who at the time wore that thin mustache of a nelsonrodriguean character. He called his partner Francis Hime and together they composed “Meu Caro Amigo”. The chorinho is a letter to music that uses the politically incorrect expression “the thing here is black” to talk about the situation in the country.

The legend, always the legend, also says that the song-letter was received during a lunch at which Darcy Ribeiro and Paulo Freire were present – that one. Boal would have felt his hopes renewed. Darcy Ribeiro’s opinion is unknown. And Paulo Freire… Well, I doubt that Paulo Freire understood the slightest bit of music. Which, according to Wagner Homem in “Histórias de Canções: Chico Buarque”, is “one of the most important works criticizing the dictatorship of all times (sic) in Brazil”.

With that in mind, and with the veiled dictatorship of an ideologically committed STF in front of me, I wrote a parody of “Meu Caro Amigo” (click on the link to know the song). Take your cavaquinho, your transverse flute, your mandolin and your tambourine and follow me along the lines below.

My dear friend, please forgive me
