Shall You Take a Musical Trip With Me?
“Strange” Portuguese songs that marked a period in the lives of the Portuguese, I bet I was no exception.
1- “DA WEASEL” — Tás na boa”
It’s almost impossible to think of this song and of this band and to write English words. My brain tells me “ Joana, what the heck are you doing woman?”. This is the Portuguese soul, one of many, crying for help, in despair.
Wikipedia tells me that they were born in 1993 and they were done in 2010. But songs are never done stupid wikipedia, they live forever. This one definitely is eternal for me.
Translated here :
For my people in the cafe smoking joints
Much more pipes than “nights” all in peace, no fights
Just on the machine breaking records, we’re lords in competition
Summer nights, beer in hand
For my boys who make the street a universe
Dude D stands for and sends one more verse
Thanks for the good times in between small talk
You can always have fun even when there’s no money
When my people…
