I saw that picture you sent
You were so beautiful, just like you left me
From here I go straight to the altar
Here life is good as the newspaper says
I just miss a normal day
When the uniform was just to win you over
So many poets with guns in hand
spend words
left ammo
But every now and then
I already just want to go home to you
Now I just want to go home to you
I already just want to go home to you
For you
You know I'm not a man who prays
But I feel with me all your prayers
Look, if I go back, it's to the altar
And it's a beautiful land, you would like it
Maybe one day you'll come back with me to visit
If someday this war leaves us
So many women line in hand
But there is only one Mary for this John
But every now and then
I already just want to go home to you
Now I just want to go home to you
I already just want to go home to you
For you
So many poets with guns in hand
But there is only one Mary for this John
But every now and then
I already just want to go home to you
Now I just want to go home to you
I already just want to go home to you
For you, for you, for you
Now I just want to go home to you
Now I just want to go home to you
I already just want to go home to you
For you

Munição translates to "ammunition". It's a striking word in a song that uses war as a metaphor for love and longing.

The lyrics mention "Gastam palavras, Deixam sobrar munição" (They spend words, they leave ammunition left over). This clever line plays on the idea of poets using words as weapons, but in this context, the

Have you ever wondered what it's like to be far away from the person you love most? Bárbara Tinoco's "Carta de Guerra," which means "War Letter," paints a vivid picture of this feeling. The song is written from the perspective of a soldier who has received a photo from his beloved. He tells her she's just as beautiful as when he left and promises they'll get married as soon as he returns, saying he'll go "straight to the altar."

Despite trying to sound brave and saying life is "good like it says in the newspaper," he can't hide his true feelings. He deeply misses the simple, normal days before the war, back when his uniform was just a way to impress her. The chorus reveals his deepest desire: "I just want to go home to you." It's a powerful and emotional message about love and longing during a difficult separation, where the only thing that truly matters is being reunited with the one you love.
