Songs and lyrics

Mercury turned two poems written to her wife into songs: "Maria Casaria" and "Sem Argumento". "América do Amor" talks about the Latin American brotherhood, as "Antropofágicos São Paulistanos" celebrates the mix of cultures of the city of São Paulo, "O Riso de Deus" talks with the funk of Rio's proms, as praises the city of Rio de Janeiro. "Senhora do Terreiro (Mãe Carmem)" is about the iyalorixá (priestess) Carmem Oliveira da Silva, daughter and successor of the iyalorixá known as Mãe Menininha do Gantois. "De Deus, de Alah, de Gilberto Gil" is a tribute to the Brazilian singer, songwriter and musician Gilberto Gil, which makes a participation on the track. "Alegria e Lamento" it's a mix of Márcio Victor's percussion with takes of an old record of the already dead Neguinho do Samba, one of the founders of the Olodum. Mercury wrote a song in English with her son Gabriel Póvoas, called "Frogs in the Sky".[3]
