Brazuca - Gabriel o Pensador (translated)
So, I wanted to
present you people to my country but I felt I wouldn’t really be able to do it
properly. Instead, I’m presenting you guys a song that really depicts our
reality through one of the best singers/composers of my homeland. I hope you
guys enjoy it.
PS: Sadly
this song was released in the late 90s and IT IS STILL applicable.
Dedicated to all 9gagers
(ae, Football?
Football isn’t taught in school)
In the
football country the rises for all but shines for a few
And it
shined through the window of the slum where lived this kid named Brazuca
Whom didn’t
have even food in the pot but did freestyle football with the shin that drove
the gang insane
He was
young and was already said that he was the new Pelé
That he
could do whatever he wanted with a ball on the foot
That he
could take a free kick way better than Zico and Maradona and would dribble even
better than Mané
Yeah
And Brazuca
grew up, getting interest from businessmen and jealousy from the suckers
Including
from his brother that have a Romário’s Poster in the wardrobe
But plays
football as badly as fuck
His name is
Zé Batalha (John Battle)
And since
he was little he works to earn the crumble
that feeds his mother and his younger brother
None of
them studied because there isn’t education for the people
(Football
isn’t taught in school)
That’s why
Brazuca is good with the ball
(ref)
Brazuca is
good with the ball
Brazuca
fools around
Zé Batalha
only works
Zé Batalha
only flays himself (x2)
Enough of
taking a beating
The shin is
swollen and the judge don’t see
Enough with
the funny business
The shirt
is all sweat from all this running
Enough with
the square ball
This rule
is wrong, lets redo
Enough of
taking a beating
The gang is
tired of losing
In the
football country almost everything runs badly
But Brazuca
is good with the ball, already is a professional
State
champion, Brazilian champion
Went to
play in the national team, met the whole world
And the
world met Brazuca with the 10 (shirt number)
Commanding
in the middle like someone that plays snooker with their feet
With ease,
with class, without missing a pass
What made
his value to rise
And today
he is the most well paid player from Europe
Captain of
national team, he’s in the worldcup
Meanwhile
his brother, Zé Batalha
And all his
folk, the rabble
From the
slums where he came, only works
Sweating
the shirt, thrown to the corner
Trying to
build a play prettier than the hay that they carry for lunch
Injured
from all the beating
Mistaken
for a bandit, offsided
Stop right
now!
Without
complaining to not take a red card
Zé Batalha
under the sights of a machine gun on his knees
Trying to
explain himself with a revolver behind his head:
I’m a
worker, I’m Brazuca’s brother!
He prays,
hold his breath
Back to the
worldcup, penalty kick for the national team
Ball in
place, Brazuca is going to kick
Finger in
the trigger, Zé Batalha is going to die
Judge
sounded the whistle… everything went how it had to be:
There it is
one more goal and Brazil is the champion
There it is
one more body lying in the floor
(ref)
Brazuca is
good with the ball
Brazuca
fools around
Zé Batalha
only works
Zé Batalha
only flays himself (x2)
Enough of
taking a beating
The shin is
swollen and the judge don’t see
Enough with
the funny business
The shirt
is all sweat from all this running
Enough with
the square ball
This rule
is wrong, lets redo
Enough of
taking a beating
The gang is
tired of losing
The whole
country was happy after that goal
Everybody
was satisfied, everybody hugged each other
A lot of
people even cried with the commemoration
Pride of
living in a champion country
And in the
slums, in the next day, no one works
It is the
day of burying what is left of Zé Batalha
But there
is no one to carry the body
Not even to
pray for the dead
Everybody
is with the flag in their hands waiting for the national team in the airport
(It’s the
champion) of hypocrisy, violence, humiliation
(It’s the
champion) of ignorance, despair, malnutrition
(It’s the
champion) of cowardice, misery, corruption
(It’s the
champion) of abandonment, hunger,
prostitution
(ref)
Brazuca is
good with the ball
Brazuca
fools around
Zé Batalha
only works
Zé Batalha
only flays himself (x2)
Enough of

The shin is

Enough with

Enough of

The gang is
tired of losing
Enough of taking a beating
