Cava um Túnel (Reprise)

Song Meaning

The lyrics present a stark contrast between a desperate, repetitive action and a triumphant, almost boastful declaration. Initially, the phrase "Cava um túnel" (Dig a tunnel) is repeated, suggesting a frantic, perhaps futile, effort to escape or hide. This is immediately followed by a firm "Nunca mais eu vou cavar um túnel" (I will never dig a tunnel again), indicating a definitive end to that struggle. The subsequent line, "Nunca mais a hiena vem" (Never again will the hyena come), implies the tunnel was a response to a specific threat, and its abandonment signifies the threat's removal.
