The corpus of the present dissertation contains the lyrics of the following songs, written by Chico Buarque de Hollanda Roda-Viva (1967), Apesar de Você (1970), Quando o Carnaval Chegar and Bom Conselho, both from 1972 all produced during the military dictatorship in Brazil and considered as text/discourse that conveys many underlying meanings, which will be revealed by the analyses presented. In order to do that, and to facilitate the comprehension of such meanings, we have followed a schematic sequence in the elaboration of this investigation. We start by briefly presenting the paths traveled by Textual Linguistics, from its origins in Europe in the 60 s, until this day, in order to get to the notions of text and discourse. Such notions will first lead us to textuality and the seven factors which emerge in the linguistic field cohesion; coherence; intentionality; acceptability; informativity; situationality; intertextuality. For the purposes of this work, we will focus on intentionality, acceptability and situationality specifically. After that, we will resort to Discourse Analysis to develop the concepts of subject, ideology, presupposition, subtext and silences, which complement our study. And finally, through linguisticdiscursive analyses, we propose one possible reading, among the many there are, of the lyrics of the songs chosen, which reveal an individual who is disgruntled with the political situation of Brazil and who, despite censorship, managed to convey his message through his samba-duplex" Double Samba).
