I'm a citizen from Brazil and from Spain, and despite I love the spanish flag, it has nothing to do with the song. hehehe. Concerning translation.... well, Chico Buarque (composer of the song), is the most complex brazilian songwriter in my opinion, this song especially is full of references of brazilian culture and idioms, dificult to explain in written form, hehe.
I've been trying to find her CDs here in the US but they're all over priced. Since it's a Brazilian import. I might just take the dive and grab it one of these days.
It's such a cheerfull song, but did you know that it is about the end of the dictatorial state in Brazil? And it is from the view point of the dictator, it has such sentences like: "They asked for my head in a silver plate/ No one cares about my affliction".
Extrordinary song and lyrics! Congratulations to Chico Buarque!
@MrQuuem do you think you can translate the lyrics for me? i've been asking some of my friends that speak portuguese but they weren't able to translate it all the way..
This music is about a social movement at the final moments of the dictatorial state: "Diretas já!" - Direct [vote] Now! - in english.
This music talks about the greatness of this moment, but, just after that moment, everything came as the same as always: people with a passive attitude, (as an example) going to maracanã to watch soccer and everything more.
It's a music that wants to show to brazilian people that this moment is not the end, there will be a lots of political fight to achieve the social justice here.
Maybe a translation of this music don't make any sense to you. There is a lot of metaphoras and methonimies (I think that this the way how to write this words ) that whoever not know brazilian history and that context (1984) will not understand.

Try to hear "Ah, se eu vou" also with Roberta Sá. Sure you will like it.
It's a song of Lula Queiroga, a singer and composer of my homeland.
