Umbabarauma (Jorge Ben Jor cover feat. Los Hooligans) Lyrics
Um, dois, tres, quatro...
Umbabarauma homen gol
Umbabarauma homen gol
Joga bola joga bola jogador
Joga bola quero jogar bola jogador
Pula, pula, cai, levanta, sobe e desce
Corre, chuta, abre espaco, vibra e agradece
Olha que a cidade toda ficou vazia
Nessa tarde bonita pra te ver jogar
Joga bola jogador
Joga bola corocondo
Favela Pelada Favela Pelada
Futebol Futebol Futebol Futebol...
*Eis ai a historia de Umbabarauma
Um ponta de lanca Africano
Um ponta de lanca decidido
Umbabarauma*
--------------------------------------------
Umbabarauma goal man
Umbabarauma goal man
Play ball play ball ball player
Play ball I want to play ball ball player
Jump, jump, fall, get up, go up and get down
Run, kick, find a hole, thrill and give thanks
See how the whole city empties out
On this beautiful afternoon to watch you play
Play ball ball player
Play ball corocondo
Slum Street Soccer Slum Street Soccer
Soccer Soccer Soccer Soccer...
*This is the story of Umbabarauma
An African point man
A point man whose mind is made up
Umbabarauma*
Umbabarauma homen gol
Joga bola quero jogar bola jogador
Pula, pula, cai, levanta, sobe e desce
Corre, chuta, abre espaco, vibra e agradece
Olha que a cidade toda ficou vazia
Nessa tarde bonita pra te ver jogar
Joga bola corocondo
Favela Pelada Favela Pelada
Futebol Futebol Futebol Futebol...
Um ponta de lanca Africano
Um ponta de lanca decidido
Umbabarauma*
Umbabarauma goal man
Play ball I want to play ball ball player
Jump, jump, fall, get up, go up and get down
Run, kick, find a hole, thrill and give thanks
See how the whole city empties out
On this beautiful afternoon to watch you play
Play ball corocondo
*This is the story of Umbabarauma
An African point man
A point man whose mind is made up
Umbabarauma*

So nice of you to make a comment that has nothing to do with this song, SweetKalina.
Anyway, this song is apparently about some soccer star. Not much to say, really.

Now I wonder if it's about a football star or about the football as such. I think this is like the national sport of Brasil and you can hear it in the song -- sheer joy of playing. Great song, anyway :)

Hm, I've just discovered this is actually a cover. Originally, this song is by Jorge Ben. You can find it on YouTube with a nice video.
