Um jogo de futebol pode haver dois espetáculos, o do gramado e o da torcida. E a torcida do Botafogo está dando a sua contribuição. No jogo do último sábado contra o Goiás eles apresentaram a sua versão para a canção oficial da Copa 2010, “Wavin’ Flag’”. Na versão Alvi-negra se chama “Vivo Essa Paixão”
Veja abaixo, com a letra para, se quiser, cantar junto. E obrigado ao Daniel pela dica:
Botafogo, meu destino
Tua estrela, e seu brilho
Me chamaram, me atraíram
Não escolho, fui escolhido
Vivo essa paixão
Botafogo no coração
No Engenhão eu vou torcer
E te ver mais uma vez vencer
E hoje tem jogo do Botafogo
O Glorioso e o meu grande amor
Te amo, Fogo!
Te amo, Fogo!
Te amo, Fogo!
Fogo-ôôôooôôô
Fogo-ôôôooôôôooôôôooôôô
Fogo-ôôôooôôô
Fogo-ôôôooôôôooôôôooôôô
E a versão original cantada por K’naan:
when i get older i will be
stronger they’ll call me freedom just
like a wavin flag
when i get older i will be
stronger they’ll call me freedom just
like a waving flag
and then it goes back (3x)
ahhho ahhho ahhho
born to a throne
stronger than rome
but violent prone
poor people zone
but its my home
all i have known
where i got grown
streets we would roam
out of the darkness
i came the farthest
among the hardest survive
learn form these streets
it can be bleak
accept no defeet
surrender retreat
(so we struggling)
fighting to eat
(and we wondering)
when we will be free
so we patiently wait
for that faithful day
its not far away
but for now we say
when i get older i will be
stronger they’ll call me freedom just
like a waving flag
and then it goes back (3x)
ahhho ahhho ahhho
so many wars
settling scores
bring us promises
leaving us poor
i heard them say
love is the way
love is the answer
thats what they say
but look how they treat us
make us believers
we fight there battes
then they deceive us
try to control us
they couldn’t hold us
cause we just move forward
like buffalo soldiers
(but we strugglin)
fighting to eat
(and we wonderingg)
when we will be free
so we patiently wait
for that faithfully day
its not far away
but for now we say
when i get older i will be
stronger they’ll call me freedom just
like a waving flag
and then it goes back (3x)
and then it goes when i get older i will be
stronger they’ll call me freedom just
like a wavin flag
and then it goes back (3x)
ahhhooo ahhhoooo ahhhooo
and everybody will be singing it
and you and i will be singing it
and we all will be singing it
wo wah wo ah wo ah
when i get older i will be
stronger they’ll call me freedom just
like a wavin flag
and then it goes back (3x)
and then it goes when i get older i will be
stronger they’ll call me freedom just
like a wavin flag
and then it goes back (3x)
a oh a oh a oh
when i get older
when i get older
i will be stronger
just like a wavin flag (3x)
flag flag
just like a wavin flag
