Eu sempre gostei dessa música, World in Motion. Achava que ela, além de dançante, era alegre, para cima. Nunca havia prestado atenção na letra, mas achava curioso o seu final, quando parecia que havia uma torcida de futebol gritando "England".
Algumas semanas atrás, um amigo inglês me disse que o New Order havia feito essa música para a seleção inglesa de futebol na Copa do Mundo de 1990. Ora, fazia então todo o sentido aquele coro gritando "England", hahahaha.
Fico bem imaginando quem cantaria a música da seleção do Brasil. Deize Tigrona? Latino? Banda Eva? Banda Calipso? Hahahahahahaha. A gente sofre, mas goza.
Então resolvi ir atrás da letra e me surpreendi: ela é linda e, óbvio, consegue-se aplicá-la não apenas ao mundo do futebol. Serve para nossas vidinhas pessoais também.
Aí embaixo vai a letra e o clipe que tem alguns jogadores da seleção da época fazendo o back vocals e a parte "rap".
(PS: reparem como o jeitinho inglês de ser é lindo. ai, ai)
Ah, e eu adoro esta parte da letra:
Cos Im the england man
And what youre looking at
Is the master plan
We aint no hooligans
This aint a football song
Three lions on my chest
I know we cant go wrong
Were playing for england {in-ger-land}
Were playing the song
Were singing for england {in-ger-land}
Arrivederci its one one one
LINDO!
World in Motion (New Order)
Express yourself
Create the space
You know you can win
Dont give up the chase
Beat the man
Take him on
You never give up
Its one on one
Express yourself
Its one on one
Express yourself
Its one on one
Express yourself
You cant be wrong
When somethings good
Its never gone
Loves got the world in motion
And I know what we can do
Loves got the world in motion
And I cant believe its true
Now is the time
Let everyone see
You never give up
Thats how it should be
Dont get caught
Make your own play
Express yourself
Dont give it away
Express yourself
Its one on one
Express yourself
Its one on one
Express yourself
You cant be wrong
When somethings good
Its never wrong
Loves got the world in motion
And I know what we can do
Loves got the world in motion
And I cant believe its true
Loves got the world in motion
And I know what we can do
Loves got the world in motion
And I cant believe its true
Youve got to hold and give
But do it at the right time
You can be slow or fast
But you must get to the line
Theyll always hit you and hurt you
Defend and attack
Theres only one way to beat them
Get round the back
Catch me if you can
Cos Im the england man
And what youre looking at
Is the master plan
We aint no hooligans
This aint a football song
Three lions on my chest
I know we cant go wrong
Were playing for england {in-ger-land}
Were playing the song
Were singing for england {in-ger-land}
Arrivederci its one one one
Were playing for england {in-ger-land}
Were playing the song
Were singing for england {in-ger-land}
Arrivederci its one one one
Were playing for england {in-ger-land}
Were playing the song
Were singing for england {in-ger-land}
Arrivederci its one one one
Were playing for england {in-ger-land}
Were playing the song
Were singing for england {in-ger-land}
Arrivederci its one one one
