Elis

I don't want to tell you My love.

Of what I learned Through vinyl records.

I want to tell you How I lived my life.

And all that happened to me.

Living is better than dreaming.

I know that love is a good thing.

But I also know that any chant Is smaller than anybody's life.

So, watch out, my dear.

For danger lurks Around the corner.

They won.

And now, the lights are red For us, the young.

It was to embrace your brother And kiss your girl outside.

That your arm, your lips, And your voice were made.

You ask me about my passion

I say I'm delighted with a new invention

I'm staying in this city, I'm not going back to the countryside.

Since I can feel the wind carrying The scent of the new season

I feel it all in the living wound In my heart.

Long ago I saw you on the streets.

Your hair blowing in the wind The young all gathered.

On the wall of memories.

This recollection is the picture That hurts me the most.

The military and army soldiers took over the National Congress.

Headquarters have sent their troops to the streets

to avoid any resistance to the military coup.

- Romeu Costa. - We have information

that president Goulart is now fleeing to Uruguay.

There's a two-night down payment.

- This is only one night. - I'll give you the rest tomorrow.

It has to be now.

- Does the room have a washroom? - Yes.

With cold water.

Dad, weren't we going to use my payment from last week to come to Rio?

I had to use it for something else. I needed the money.

Your mother needed it.

For the house.

- Hello, how are you doing? - Hi.

- How are you? - How's it going?

- Hello. - Hi.

Excuse me.

I thought you had given up.

How could I give up on the most important thing in my life?

We agreed on recording in February and you show up in April...

It's not that simple to put all her obligations aside.

Now things are complicated. It's not a good time for new things.

But you insisted on me recording in Rio.

But you're two months late.

The world is upside-down. Didn't you hear it on the radio?

Let's wait until this mess is settled and see how things end up.

I think... In August. I can get the studio in August.

You know, Pittigliani...

We have

cancelled many shows in Bagé, Erechim, Passo Fundo...

Could you at least

give us an advance so we could make ends meet until August?

That's impossible. We sell our lunch to pay for dinner here.

Mr. Romeu, don't worry, really. Your daughter is a phenomenal singer.

You are phenomenal.

I'll see you in August, God willing.

- You got up early. - I went to buy the newspaper.

Listen up.

Singers wanted for recording the album of the play "Poor Little Rich Girl".

Auditions with Vinicius de Moraes and Tom Jobim.

Can you believe that?

- Our bus is tomorrow. - The audition is today, Mr. Romeu.

Well...

Maybe we can make a few bucks.

Drink up that coffee and get dressed. We can't waste any time.

What a restless girl.

POOR LITTLE RICH GIRL

Good afternoon, girls, how's it going?

For this album, we're looking for something more intimate.

Like Nara Leao, who was in the play originally, you know?

Why isn't Nara recording it?

She has another play and no time.

She's the craze at the moment.

Call the southern girl.

Elis! Honey! Excuse me.

Elis!

Elis! Elis!

Damn girl!

Sweetheart!

Hey...

- What happened? - It was awful!

I heard them saying I sound like a steakhouse singer!

What's wrong with being a steakhouse singer?

It's an honest way to make a living.

Thanks, dad.

We can buy a whole cow with the money they charge for a steak here.

This place...

It's not for us, sweetheart.

I want to see Nara's gig before we leave.

We're out of money, Elis Regina.

If I don't go to her gig, I won't get on the bus.

Let's walk round.

As the ground is already dry Lei's walk round.

Hey, let's walk 'round The rain is yet to come.

Let's walk round.

The farther I go.

The more I can't stop thinking.

That it's best to leave With memories.

Than seeing things Fall apart.

Lei's walk round As the ground is already dry.

Let's walk round.

Yeah, let's walk round The rain is yet to come.

Let's walk round.

That's the craze at the moment.

Let's walk round.

The rain is yet to come Let's walk 'round.

You must be a good singer.

- You've got to watch me. - I will.

- What's your name? - Gabriela.

Gabriela. You have such a familiar face.

My biggest star. That was beautiful. Congratulations!

- Incredible. - Did you like it?

I loved it.

- Really? - Yeah.

- Guys, should we celebrate at Bottles? - Let's go.

Right now? Let's go.

- I was touched, you know. - Were you?

She's an okay singer.

Elis! Hey! What's the hurry?

Calm down! Hey!

Look at this amazing couple. You're smoking that here?

Let me clear up my mind.

Do it inside, man. That's dangerous.

Look, if it's not my sidekick, Mr. Barba.

It's dangerous here and you're flirting. Excuse me.

Who's that guy who just went inside?

Many people go inside, baby.

Can you tell me what happens in there?

Yes, I can.

Me sing, me dance. They applaud and have fun.

- 15 minutes. - Come, baby, come.

What's that smell, Lennie? Fuck.

Let's go in.

Let's go.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present you the incomparable Lennie Dale.

Bravo!

Go, Lennie.

It's on fire!

Fuck!

- I told you to buy a glass filter. - Where would I get the money?

Move that thing.

Don't touch the lamp.

The duck Came singing all cheery.

You let it touch the lamp.

Don't order me around, do it yourself.

Are you making a scene? It's Lennie's time.

The goose liked the duo And also went "quack quack".

Saw the swan and told him "Come, come".

That the quartet will be good.

- Go take care of your business. - Leave to me.

They went to the bank of the lake To rehearse.

"Tico-Tico no Fuba".

- The duck's voice... - Hi.

- Excuse me. Is this bar yours? - Not exactly.

But Boscoli and I make things happen around here.

Boscoli is the hunk.

The one who looks like a gipsy thief? Yeah, that's him.

I see you put out some fires here.

Isn't it, baby?

I loved the foreign guy. He's fantastic!

An amazing dancer!

I brought him from Broadway.

Seriously?

We only have the "creme de la creme" here.

You got that, right?

Then you're lucky. I'm a singer

and I'm looking for a place to sing.

My name's Elis Regina.

Miele.

Singer and confident. I like it.

But only the best ones perform here.

I am the best.

You have to hear me.

Why don't you audition for us?

We have gigs tomorrow afternoon.

5 pm?

5 pm, sharp.

Bravo!

Lennie Dale!

Just one more day, dad.

I said no.

We can go back later.

Please.

I said no.

- It's 7pm! We said 5! - Who's the crazy girl?

I forgot about it. I scheduled an audition for her.

- You're such a nun. - That's so disrespectful!

I've been waiting for two hours. I'm a professional!

- Is her show outside or inside? - Fuck off!

I'm sorry, honey!

- You're right. - That's not ok! That's bad manners.

It's "bad" everything. Aren't you the confident singer?

- What's your name? - Elis Regina.

Elis Regina. It's a singer's name.

I'm sorry. Can we try it one more time, please?

I think she's pooping in her diaper.

The boy goes to the market To sell oranges until he's beat.
