Obra prima de Chico Buarque

There are two songs by the singer Chico Buarque that are masterpieces: "Cálice" and "Construção".
In the song "Construção", it is divided into 3 parts.
Its composition is poetic with meter (verse length) and the last word is always a paroxytone (stressed on the penultimate syllable).
1) In the first part, he tells the story of a worker who left home and went to work, where he had an accident and fell dead in the middle of traffic.
2) In the third part, he repeats the narrative, changing some lyrics on purpose.
3) In the final part, he makes clear the objective of the song: a critique of Capitalism. Alive, the worker has value and importance; dead, he only gets in the way. The song is sung in the third person, but in the last part, he sings in the first person, ironically thanking the capitalist system for all its bad aspects.

The main reference is that when someone dies, people (strangers) don't care about others.

There's a very powerful phrase, "died going the wrong way, getting in the way...", but for pedestrians there's no such thing as going the wrong way, so he's talking about going the wrong way as being against the system. I'll send a video with English subtitles where an American reacts to this song, watch it.

At the end there is his analysis of the song

and there is a video where Spaniards react to Chico Buarque's songs

And Calice (in Portuguese the word has two meanings, the "chalice of wine of Jesus, and the other meaning is chalice of the verb "to be silent") he did it on purpose because of the Military dictatorship he could not express his own ideas that were against the Government at the time, so he uses the chalice (of wine) to refer to the chalice (of being silent) that is against censorship.
