I commented on previous posts how controversial the Fifa World Cup in Brazil is. Anyway, there's less than one month left, so I guess we should take the most we can out of it as a learning opportunity. One thing that always can help is the official song, which this time is sung in English and Portuguese, and with a very positive message.
The song is performed by the legendary Mexican guitarrist Carlos Santana, the Swedish DJ Avicii the Haitian-American Wyclef Jean and the Brazilian Alexandre Pires. The song title "Dar um jeito" is a very coloquial expression that reflects the positive feeling Brazilian people usually have, even when against the odds of living in a nation not fully mature in many aspects. Check it out:
Dar um Jeito (We wil find a way) lyrics
Dar um jeito (oh oh oh)
Dar um jeito (oh oh oh)
When you got nothing to eat
And you find it hard to sleep
How you struggling on the streets
And you can't escape the heat
But your heart could feel that beat
So you get up off your feet
Ain't no mountain you can't reach
Grab a star and make a wish
We're celebrating and we're wavin' all our wrath
We are united even though we're different flags
We are one voice, one heart
One soul, once we set that goal
You know we're gonna start
Here we go, oh oh oh
That's all we know oh oh oh
So here we go, oh oh oh
That's all we know
Dar um jeito (oh oh oh)
We gonna find a way, yeah we gonna find a way
Dar um jeito (oh oh oh)
We gon find a way, yeah we gon find a way
Você nasceu pra brilhar
Está escrito em seu olhar
É tão forte a sensação
De vestir uma nação
Quando o jogo começar
Ninguém vai te segurar
Sua determinação
É de um grande campeão
E nós celebramos e vibramos por vocês
O mundo inteiro está torcendo outra vez
Nós somos uma voz, corpo e alma
Coração, então vamos gritar
Explode a emoção
Here we go, oh oh oh
That's all we know oh oh oh
So here we go, oh oh oh
That's all we know
Dar um jeito (oh oh oh)
We gon find a way, yeah we gon find a way
Dar um jeito (oh oh oh)
We gon find a way, yeah we gon find a way
Here we go
Here we go
Here we go, oh oh oh
That's all we know oh oh oh
So here we go, oh oh oh
That's all we know
Dar um jeito (oh oh oh)
We gonna find a way, yeah we gonna find a way
Dar um jeito (oh oh oh)
We gonna find a way, yeah we gonna find a way
Here we go
