01x04 - I'M NOT AFRAID OF DEATH - Natural things in life

[bunniefuu]

Let's recap the setlist for the tour.

ARARAS
MOUNTAIN REGION OF RIO DE JANEIRO STATE

-"Cores Vivas."
-Yes.

The order is "Drão"...

BEM GIL
SON

We must finish it.

It's still...

It's not complete yet.

But it's on the setlist.

I had homework to do,
but I didn't have time to do it.

-Then "Babá Alapalá."
-We've done it.

-"Realce."
-We did it today.

-"Barato Total."
-Done.

We've done it.

-"Touche Pas À Mon Pote"?
-Done.

-"Sítio do Picapau Amarelo"?
-Done.

-"Andar com Fé"?
-Done.

I mean, it's not finished yet.

-But we've played it in D.
-We still have to rehearse it.

Then, "Sereno."

-We need one more.
-It was on the list.

-Which one?
-"Não Tenho Medo Da Morte" isn't there.

That's right.

The songs left out are: "Flora,"

"O Sonho Acabou," "Um Sonho."

Nobody picked
"Se Eu Quiser Falar Com Deus"?

I'll leave myself
a few songs to choose too.

AT HOME WITH THE GILS

I'm happy to talk about this person

because it's an opportunity...

PRETA GIL
DAUGHTER

...to tell the family what he means to me,

although we've been together

for some time now,

and whoever was skeptical
about us isn't anymore.

They're convinced
of our love and affection.

Some were skeptical.

Before I met this person,

I had a huge self-esteem problem.

When I fell in love with him...

He loved me for who I am.

He hasn't tried to change me.

He taught me to look at myself

with kindness,

to be less judgmental,

to love myself more.

This person is my husband,

a man who respectfully joined our family.

We don't have any kids,
but you're Sol's grandpa.

I don't know if we'll last forever,
and if we don't,

you should know how important you are
to me and will always be.

You'll always be Sol's grandpa.

We should thank Preta
for bringing you into our family.

-You're good to her.
-If you cry because of me...

You make her happy.

-Everyone here agrees.
-We see how kind you are to her.

You could be a nice guy
that Preta liked...

When I joined this family,

I was...

RODRIGO GODOY
SON-IN-LAW

...this fitness freak.

The Crossfitter.

I was all muscular,

the athletic guy with the chubby girl.

What the hell?

"He's such a gold digger."

The Internet disapproved,
but I didn't care.

In the beginning, I got mad at them.

Preta explained
that it was going to be like this

and we need to face it
if we want to be together.

And we'll be together.

-I love you.
-I love you.

It's too much for me.

This song I've chosen
makes us aware of the issue of misogyny.

When I first got here,
I wasn't as open-minded as you guys.

I was raised in a different world.

Preta opened my eyes to see the world
in a feminine perspective.

This song is about that.

It talks about

the femininity we all have, men and women.

It praises all women,

despite the song's title being male.

You got it right!

"Superhomem - A Canção."

-Sing it for us!
-Pass the guitar!

Who knows

Superman will give us back the glory

Changing the course of history
As if he was God

Because

Of a woman

I'll continue, right?

I related to this person
the most personality-wise.

Her character.

She acts all tough,

but she's soft and emotional,

just like I'm being now.

She acts bossy,
but not because she's arrogant,

it's because she organizes everything.

She can't please everyone,
and we know that.

Well, when she flares her nostrils...

get out of her way!

Then I finally got it.

She's the toughest one.

-She's not angry.
-She's not angry.

It's just her armor
to shield herself from...

I'll shut up before I start crying.

I need to present my song...

She shut me up. That's Maria.

She got you.

My song is intended...

MARIA GIL
DAUGHTER

...to bring Pedro into our setlist.

It's a song from the Raça Humana album.

I loved to perform it with Nara,
singing the backing vocals

in every concert.

Its lyrics are so current

and relevant to this
pandemic reality in Brazil.

It's been crazy.

Dad has brought it back,
and José plays the guitar solo

Pedro used to play.

I believe it could represent him.

-"Feliz Por Um Triz."
-I love it.

This is Pedro.

Come here, son.

Look here!

PEDRO GIL
SON 1970-1990

See all the cameras?

DRÃO - SANDRA GADELHA
EX-WIFE

-Let's go.
-Sandra.

Give him a hug!

Did you all live together in London?

At the first house, we did.

That's where Pedro was born.

Mom says Pedro's birth was important.

Pedro brought life into the family.

He became our lucky charm.

Our mascot.

Just like José's daughters have been

-for us these days.
-Yeah.

Everyone wanted to hold him.

-Lots of hugging and kissing.
-Taking care.

Yes.

He brought joy to our community.

Let's go, Pedro!

Jeez, guys.

I wrote about his death yesterday.

He was a monster.

Look at him, guys.

PEDRO GIL
SON 1970-1990

I'm happy

JOSÉ GIL
SON

By a hair

By a hair, I'm happy

Barely escaping hunger
And g*nf*re

Barely escaping men
Barely escaping the virus

They scrape by
Taking off my varnish

I got used to the hot chimney
Of the West Express

Sure I'll do pretty well

Hanging on this train

The city lights, the youth pass by

Driving around my heart

It's called Aladdin from a neon magic lamp

All of a sudden
It's all good

I've heard amazing stories.

There are many funny stories about Pedro.

MARIÁ PINKUSFELD
DAUGHTER-IN-LAW

He was Wellington's best friend.

My dad still remembers.

JOÃO GIL
GRANDSON

-Who?
-My brother, Pedro.

He was coming back home driving

from military training I believe.

JP DEMASI
SON-IN-LAW

No, he was driving back from a concert.

It was in Niterói.

NARA GIL
DAUGHTER

He came back alone.

It was strange because
Wellington was supposed to be with him.

Wellington felt so guilty.

My dad always accompanied him.

They always got back home together.
But that night they didn't.

He was fine all the way actually.

He drove from Niterói.
He crossed the bridge.

He crashed the car near home in Lagoa.

It's symbolic.
You relax because you're near home.

He was almost home.
Just a short distance away.

I believe he fell asleep.

-"I've arrived."
-Yes, exactly.

Yes.

We went through the lyrics
of "Sem Medo, Com Pedro" today.

"Com Medo, Com Pedro"?

The song title is

"Com Medo, Com Pedro."

And it says,

"I'm no longer scared,
I'm with Pedro

"I'm more with Pedro
Than I am scared

"God forbid me to be afraid now,
After I've put myself out there

"God forbid me to me afraid now,
After I've hit rock bottom

"Don't be afraid to fall,
The world is deep

"Whoever wants at the bottom
Finds the door

"To the end of everything

"Well after the end of everything,
The fear of the end of the world

"Well after the end of the world
The fear of the end of everything."

I mean, it's the beginning
of my lyric style reflecting...

Yeah.

...my existential, philosophical,
religious thoughts...

-Fear of death.
-... which resulted in those great songs.

"Se Eu Quiser Falar com Deus,"

"Andar com Fé"...

It was my attempt
to uncover the mysteries...

of life.

I'm not afraid of death

But I'm afraid of dying

What would be the difference

You might ask

Death only happens after

I stop breathing

Dying is still here

In life, under the sun, in the air

There can still be pain

Or an urge to piss

I'm not afraid of death

But I'm afraid of dying

Death happens after me

But I'm the one who dies

My last act

I must be present

Just like a president

Passing on the power to his successor

I'll have to die while living

Knowing that I'm about to go

When you remember someone,
you have to imagine them first.

If I think about them at any time...

I'm crying because I love him.

I'm afraid I'll cry as well.

-That's good.
-It's cute.

He's always laughing. It's João.

She couldn't talk anymore.

True. He got it from his mother.

I think João is always...

-He's a wailer.
-A wailer.

-He's always like...
-The prettiest smile...

Sentimental.

My song is "Queremos Saber."

It's one of my favorite songs.

JOÃO GIL
GRANDSON

It's contemporary and relevant.

We're living in strange times,

one that's hard to believe.

There's the pandemic,
and we have to explain why

we believe in science and progress.

The lyrics are about faith in science,

and where and how we're getting there.

It's not really a hit.

For instance, I first heard it
on Cássia Eller's acoustic album.

Only later in life
I found out it was my grandpa's song.

It wasn't recorded by him,
so I think it fits the context

and revitalizes it.

I'm in.

You nailed it!

There's three songs already.

Here's a fun fact about this song.

FRANCISCO GIL
GRANDSON

I first heard it on "Viramundo,"
the live album.

You start playing it on your guitar

and you flirt with someone
from the audience.

He's told this story.

I asked you who it was
and you couldn't remember.

I wish I knew who it is.

-What does he say?
-"Hey, gorgeous."

"I know you love it." "I love this song."

It must be someone we know.

"My songs will never
be as pretty as you are."

Then he starts singing, and you go,
"Man, that's awesome."

We want to know

What they will do

With all the new inventions

We want more serious news

About the discovery of the antimatter

And its implications

In the emancipation of men

From large populations

Poor men in the cities

From the steppes and backlands

We want to know

We want to live

With confidence in the future

That's why it's necessary

To predict the itinerary
Of illusion

The illusion of power

Did you leave the band for good?

I have nothing to do there, Gramps.

That's right.

One can do something
only if they are there.

Mr. Pê?

Yes, my love.

You've been working really hard today.

You're late. It's 9:30 PM.

-Have I? Do you mean downstairs?
-Yes.

A long rehearsal?

I got some great videos
of Bela and Marília.

You did?
Yeah, Bela and Marília were singing.

It was so good, wasn't it?

We're still facing

toilet clogging problems
due to toilet paper.

You just have to be careful
when you use it.

There's a bidet, guys. Use it.

Imagine that cold water!

I've never used toilet paper here.

I use baby wipes.

Just the paper?

-Yours...
-Right, Gil.

If the poop floats, it won't flush.

You need more density.

-A good poop floats.
-A good poop floats.

I just use my toilet.

What time did you go to the toilet?

-The shower.
-In the morning.

-In the morning.
-I have skills.

Have you seen a big one there?

I think it was mine.

I'm so jealous.

Marília said it was Nino's.

Did you leave your poop there?

-Let me explain.
-Good for you.

Wait...

Congratulations, honestly.

Mariá rescued me.
I lifted the toilet seat,

and I got scared. I tried...
Then I called Mariá.

Preta went there and was shocked.

I screamed.

Happy birthday, Grandpa.

Thank you, sweetie.

Happy birthday, honey.
I wish you all the best.

Take care, man. Thank you. Let's do it.

Yeah, I think COVID
will have allowed us by then.

Thanks, Paulinha. Bye. Good-bye.

Happy birthday, Grandpa.

I love you. May you live long and healthy.

PEDRO GIL
GRANDSON

Happy birthday, Gramps.
I love you so much.

FRANCISCO GIL
GRANDSON

Happy birthday, Gramps. Love you.

JOÃO GIL
GRANDSON

-To you too!
-Happy birthday to me!

Dad!

Daughter.

You lose the sensitivity of speaking...

Happy birthday!

Wow, that's freezing! Holy sh*t, f*ck!

Are you playing with Grandpa, dear?
Grandpa is so cool.

Take my birthday hug.

Thank you.

I love you so much.

Me too.

Watch me, Daddy!

-No, thanks.
-No?

I didn't want to.

Give me a sip, son.

How wonderful!

Hey, a cold one. It's Saturday.

Turning 79, right? It's the birthday boy.

Let's start our family meeting.

I ask you all to collaborate to the OM,

Organization and Method.

Let's go over it again.

Don't toss paper in the toilet.

Our hall toilet is clogged.

There's no hot water downstairs.

Right, we'll talk
about the hot water later.

This is a gathering,
not a condominium meeting.

-It's the building meeting.
-Here's what you do,

get used, in the mornings...

Get used to swimming in here.

After that temperature,

everything else is...
That's one thing. Next on the list,

welcome, Giacomo!

From where?

Thank you!

-Città di Castelo.
-Città di Castelo.

Today's Gil's birthday...

-And João's.
-João Gil's as well.

And it's our wedding anniversary.

Oh, yeah!

GIACOMO PIRAZZOLI
SON-IN-LAW

Hey there! I'm so excited.

Just imagine myself,
coming back to Europe, and it's so cold.

But now you guys
are making my heart warm.

We miss you.

We love you, Giacomo!

I love you all.

Let's begin.

I had my mind made up on one song.

GABRIEL GIL
GRANDSON

It's my favorite song,
and the one I relate most to.

It's "Esotérico."

-Good.
-"Not so esoteric, not that much."

It's hard to talk about it

because I have this internal conflict.

For me, it's hard to understand myself.

This song means that to me.

In a moment of doubt...

-Understanding what you can't.
-What you can't.

It's okay not to get it.

I believe this pandemic

made people talk about things left aside

because of their routine

of not talking, whether with themselves,

with grief, with death,
with another person's feelings.

I think people had problems
because they lack

the understanding
that you have no control.

You won't understand anything.

And...

-It only makes it worse.
-Exactly.

That's it.

That's great.

Beautiful!

Because mysteries emerge here and there

People will love you much more

Even more difficult than me to you

Than me, than two, than ten millions

All the same

Not so esoteric, not that much

If I'm hard to read

My God is even more

Mysteries emerge here and there

There's no use in abandoning me

It's useless

Nor falling deeply in love

To the point you can't swim

To the point you drown to death for me

Dad, you once said

that you always wanted
to teach your children kindness,

and leave your legacy.

Life offers you...

so many options.

There are some bitter fruit,

some sweet ones,

some sour ones,

and so forth, and you try...

You try it.

I tried to gather inside of me...

all the good intentions.

I can choose to do this, and do that...

And I took this path, so...

-Picking the good path.
-The good path.

One of the reasons I named her Bem.

Bem means "good."

I never...

If you think about it...

MARIA GIL
DAUGHTER

...your children are doing the same.

-No one here has...
-Nobody!

...serious problems,

such as bad character
or extreme misbehavior.

I was lucky. In a certain way,
I was awarded for this choice.

-My children...
-Yes, your choices...

A kind offspring.

A good offspring. Right?

As a radical goodness believer.

That's what I am.

We have a surprise for Great-Grandpa now.

Sol de Maria has prepared it.

With everybody else.

What do you have to say to Great-Grandpa?

SOL DE MARIA
GREAT-GRANDDAUGHTER

I love you.

Thank you, sweetie.

Go.

"Sol"?

Sese, don't tell him!

-A drop...
-A drop...

A drop of dew to baptize you

A little falling star in the sky

A pebble hung in your necklace

A pebble from the street you were born

If life decided to call you sun

A vivid ray from our greatest star

May daylight guide you

Because of the night, my dear
I know nothing

May the world be good
May the world be good for us

Your parents, uncles, cousins,
Grand and great-grandparents

May the world be
What your generation desires

Everyone who's here
And those still to come

These are mine and João's?

Yes, your first grandson.
He was your birthday gift.

-Where is Flor?
-Guys, please stand up to sing.

Where's Bela?

-I'm here!
-Could you, please?

Why can't I sit?

-Is everyone here?
-Yes!

Happy birthday to you

On this special day

Best wishes
May you have many years more

Happy birthday to you

On this special day
Best wishes

May you have many years more

What do they deserve?
Is it everything or nothing?

Everything!

So what do we say?

Chop!

It's time!

One, two, three!

João! Gil!

Make a wish!

It's time to blow the candles

And sing the same old song

Congratulations
Congratulations

On your birthday

May God bless you

With health and peace

And the angels say amen

Congratulations
Congratulations

On your birthday

May God bless you

With health and peace

And the angels say amen

Congratulations
Congratulations

On your birthday

Roses are red, violets are blue

Hey, João, I'm gonna eat your cake

May God bless you
With health and peace

This has always been my life's rule.

Music as a creation

from the mind and feelings.

And my offspring

as a creation...

-Of your own.
-... from my materiality.

The everlasting creation
of my materiality through my children.

These are things that rule my life

until today and up to the end.

Cho, chua
Each monkey on its branch

Cho, chua
I'm never tired of saying

Cho, chua
My branch is in Bahia

Cho, chua
Yours is elsewhere

Don't get upset
I don't know where you come from

Stay here, don't go there

With the black mother being a milkmaid

Go fill your bottle up elsewhere

Cho, chua
Each monkey on its branch

Cho, chua
I'm never tired of saying

Cho, chua
My branch is in Bahia

Cho, chua
Yours is elsewhere

Thanks!

Thank you!

May God bless you
With health and peace

And angels say amen

Congratulations
Congratulations

On your birthday

May God bless you

With health and peace

And angels say amen

Congratulations
Congratulations

Congratulations on your birthday

May God bless you

With health and peace

And angels say amen

Congratulations
Congratulations

Congratulations on your birthday

IN THE NEXT EPISODE

Some of us have been to Europe,

we'll travel and visit beautiful places.

It's been 15 days already.

We'll miss them.

On Tuesday we'll get sick
from all the silence.

Novelty came on the beach

In the form of a rare mermaid

Half up, the bust of a Mayan goddess

Half down, a large whale's tail

Novelty was outstanding

The paradox lying in the sand

Some wanted her heavenly kisses

Others wanted her bottom half
on their plate

Oh, such an unequal world

Everything is so unbalanced
