Zuco 103: Nunca Mais (Never Again)

Nunca Mais van Zuco 103 is een heerlijk zomers nummer dat prima past bij de zwoele temperaturen van de voorbije weken. Hoor ik die Portugese tonen, dan krijg ik meteen zin om te dansen!

Zuco 103 is nochtans een muziekgroep uit Nederland: Braziliaans-Nederlandse zangeres Lilian Vieira, Duitse toetsenist Stefan Schmid en Nederlandse drummer Stefan Kruger kwamen elkaar tegen aan het conservatorium van Rotterdam.

Het latintrio komt brengt neo-tropicalismo: een mix van bossa nova, samba, jazz, funk en dance elementen. Gelijkaardige nummers kan je terugvinden op hun CD After the Carnaval (2008).

Songtekst -- Lyrics

Nunca mais (× 3)

Mergulho em rio que eu não sei a fonte
Escuto um samba sem lembrar de ontem
Quero fazer de tudo a qualquer preço
Entrego o jogo pra quem não conheço

Quero um tempo de paz
Não preciso mais ao final do dia
É menos vale mais
Quando se quer paz ao final do dia

Nunca mais (× 3)

Confunda minha doçura com burrice
Eu levo a sério o que qualquer um disse
Pense que amigo aceita e engole tudo
Faço de conta que sou surdo e mudo.…

Vertaling in het Engels

Never again (× 3)

I dive into a river whose source I cannot see
I listen to a samba without remembering yesterday
I want to do everything no matter what the price
I’ll tell everything to people I don’t even know

I want a moment of peace
I don’t need anything else at the end of the day
And less is more
When you want peace at the end of the day

Never again (× 3)

Confuse my sweetness with stupidity
I take seriously what everybody says
Consider that a friend accepts and swallow everything
Pretend that I’m deaf and mute

I want a moment of peace
I don’t need anything else at the end of the day
And less is more
When you want peace at the end of the day
