Começar de novo Ivan Lins e Victor Martins - Leadsheet
The song *Começar de Novo* by Ivan Lins and Vítor Martins is one of the most iconic Brazilian songs about overcoming difficulties and starting anew. Composed in 1979, it gained prominence as the theme for the TV series *Malu Mulher*, which aired on TV Globo between 1979 and 1980. *Malu Mulher*, starring Regina Duarte, was groundbreaking in Brazilian television for addressing topics like divorce, female independence, and the challenges faced by women in post-dictatorship Brazil.
The lyrics, written by Vítor Martins, talk about moving forward after a loss or disappointment, with a message of hope and resilience. The song became an anthem for many going through tough times, looking for a fresh start. With lines like *"Começar de novo e contar comigo, vai valer a pena ter amanhecido"*, which translates to "Starting over and counting on myself, it will have been worth it to see the sunrise," the lyrics reflect a personal struggle to find new meaning in life.
Ivan Lins's melody, both soft and melancholic, accentuates the emotional depth of the lyrics. The song has been recorded by several artists over the years, including Simone, who also helped popularize it.
