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
