Homens Lyrics

homens,
gosto de todos,
dos morenos, dos mulatos,
dos branquinhos , dos loirinhos e dos crioulos.
só tem que ser homem.
tem homem corno, homem baixo, homem gordo,
homem ingrato, safado, careca, cabeludo,
viado , ousado, temido,
....tem muito homem....
todo homem que se preza tem que impor respeito,
saber ouvir, falar, escutar, ter dinheiro , celular,
ser bom de cama, e te respeitar....
se o homem não tiver nenhuma dessas virtudes,
saia de perto e tome uma atitude.
porque o verdadeiro homem,
ele te ama, te ama,
te trata, te trata,
com carinho
com respeito
e amor,
e vai te dar por toda vida grandes felicidades,
serão felizes,
este é o homem de verdade....
homens,
gosto de todos, dos morenos, dos mulatos,
dos branquinhos, dos loirinhos e dos crioulos,
....só tem que ser homem.....

Cover art for Homens lyrics by Manu Chao

Men, I like them all, The tanned ones, the mulattoes, The pale ones, the blond ones and the creoles ... just gotta to be a man. There are men who are cheated on, short men, fat men, Ungrateful guys, naughty ones, bald, hairy Fags, with an attitude, frightful ones ... there are a lot of men!

Every guy who is worth it has to be respected, Must know to hear, how to talk, listen, must have money, have cellphone Be good in bed and respect you.

If the guy doesn't have any of these virtues... Get away from him and do something about it. Because the real men He loves you, loves you Treats you, treats you With affection With respect And with love And he's gonna give you happiness throughout all your life, You both are gonna be happy This is the real man!

Men, I like them all, The tanned ones, the mulattoes, The pale ones, the blond ones and the creoles ... just gotta to be a man.

Nahtankies, the woman's name who sings this is Valeria but that's about all I know. I'm almost positive that she is (obviously) a musician of some sort but I'm not sure of the groups she sings/plays with.

Also, though I don't speak português I Babelfish'd the lyrics and the song is basically talking about how a good man will treat a woman well. This is a rough translation of a piece of the later portion: "the true man, he loves you, loves you, treats you, treats you, with affection with respect and love, and gives for all of his life great happinesses to you these are true men." Again, I had to fool around with the direct translation by deleting a couple of words and shifting around some of the syntax, but nonetheless it's pretty representative. The beginning and the very end of the song, from what I've gathered, is talking about how what makes a man is not his ethnicity or social status but his soul.

There's a video on YouTube that shows her singing with Manu on an acoustic set: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHVkcuJtwek

In the beginning she sings about loving all people, she groups them and refers to them in certain looks. I'm not sure about everything but 'homem gordo' means 'fat people'

Cover art for Homens lyrics by Manu Chao

homem gordo = fat man..is all about men..she likes all kind of them..fat/skinny/tall/short since they give her respect and has some money and cell phone..is a funny song

At first she sounds like someone who will have sex with any guy, but later talks about how a real man is one who will love, care, respect and bring happiness to her life.

I could be a little off since I speak spanish, but brazillian portuguese sounds a lot like spanish.
