Ramalho was accused of plagiarism for the opening and title track: its lyrics are a translation of a poem by Irish writer William Butler Yeats but Ramalho apparently copied it from an Incredible Hulk magazine, without knowing or citing the origin of it. It resulted in a lawsuit, and the writer was cited on subsequent albums.[1][2]

"Beira-Mar – Capítulo II" is the continuation of a trilogy started on "Beira-Mar" (from 1979's A Peleja do Diabo com o Dono do Céu) and finished on "Beira-Mar – Capítulo Final" (from 1998's Eu Sou Todos Nós).[3][4]
