Annotations and Meaning:

"Hino Cec" by Thomas Roth from the movie soundtrack "A Infância de Romeu e Julieta" is an anthem of Centro Esportivo Castanheiras (CEC) for its community and values. An animated song that talks about values, sportsmanship, and personal growth due to mutual activities with other people.
Lyrically, it is presented in a very joyous, lively tune that indicates an energy of mood and welcoming nature. First of all, it describes the Centro Esportivo Castanheiras as a "verdadeira vontade" (real desire) of culture, sport, health, and leisure. This short outline has actually defined what the center is all about, not just defining its purpose but also reiterating its commitment toward the development of a nurturing environment for the youth.
This is the repeating stanza at the heart of the song that states, "Formar o ser humano é nossa meta principal," underlining that the CEC must shape the human being and further insisting that character development should be prioritized above just pure competition. The line "Vitória ou derrota, não importa, é natural" is a very healthy approach to competition, whereby it supposes that victory or defeat does not mind but it is natural in every competition, hence considering the real victory in participation and learning.

The song also speaks of the attitude towards competitors with "Lembrar que adversário não é nosso inimigo," meaning one must remember that an opponent is not his or her enemy. This inculcates sportsmanship. This turns up the very message that is extended as a metaphor into general social dealing—respect and camaraderie with others.

It highlights some of the facilities and activities available at the CEC and emphasizes the part that they play toward finding talent and bringing them together to build winning teams. ".the club where everybody can come in." This reiterates the inclusiveness of the club, since CEC is a place for people of all backgrounds and capabilities.

Themes and Messages:

"Hino Cec" therefore touches on the major themes of inclusivity and the sports as part of the education process to society and life, community centers as reference points for development of the person and community. The song talks about values such as respect, responsibility, citizenship, friendship, and love, which all act as the base in which the Centro Esportivo Castanheiras is placed. Such presents not only the impetus to the members but a great reminder of the bigger picture to what such institutions can impact on the youth and the community at large. The lively and repetitive tune of the song attaches more excitement and proudness in such a community that is lively and hospitable. The song thus puts in place a true representation of CEC, which becomes meaningful and inspired in the film soundtrack.
