Song Meaning of “Os Alquimistas Estão Chegando” by Los Sebosos Postizos
‘Os Alquimistas Estão Chegando’ is a Brazilian dance track from the album of the same name by Los Sebosos Postizos. The song is about the impending arrival of alchemists, mysterious men who have the power to transform and change the world. Through their guidance, the song suggests that this transformation could be both for the good or for the bad. With the literal translation of the song title being “The Alchemists Are Coming,” the song’s message is a warning against either the positive or negative potential of the mysterious and powerful newcomers and their potential to bring destruction or liberation.
The song’s lyrics emphasize the enchantment and mystery of the alchemists’ arrival, with lines such as, “Colorful costumes visting our lands, there are new magicians, the alchemists are coming!” The song celebrates their potential, while warning of their power, as “There will be transformations that you won’t believe, it can take us to freedom, or put us in chains.” The song is an anthem to all those struggling against oppression and darkness, reminding us to be vigilant and prepared in order to take advantage of all the alchemists have to offer.
