Até agora ficou estabelecido que a vida é difícil, suada, mas que mesmo carregando esse peso nas costas é importante lutar pelos seus objetivos e sonhos. Só falta estabelecer quem é você.
Exato.
Você é o que vai batalhar pelo que você quer ou aquele que vai deixar o sistema te impor tarefas e futuros pré determinados?


Up until now, the song established that life is hard, and success doesn’t come easily, but, even carrying that weight on the shoulders, is important to fight for your goals and dreams. Now, only thing left to be established is who you are.

Who you are, that’s right.

You will battle for what you want or will you be a pushover, letting the system impose you tasks and a pre determined future?

A música é de 2002, 2003; o Brasil tinha feito 500 anos a pouco tempo, tendo ocorrido grandes comemorações.
O objetivo aqui é dizer que desde o início, ao longo de 500 anos, minorias mandam no país: Os colonizadores mandaram nos índios, afamília Real foi portuguesa, passou-se pela ditadura militar, e mesmo hoje pode-se considerar que apesar de existirem muitos partidos políticos, poucos de fato opinam. Não há escapatória…
Dessa maneira, o que o cidadão não pode fazer é aceitar tudo que lhe é imposto, aceitar que seus sonhos se tornem inalcançáveis. Se fizer isso, não chegará a lugar nenhum.


The song is from circa 2002, 2003; Brazil had just completed 500 years, and big celebrations took place.
The goal here is to say that from the nation’s very beginning, throughout its 500 years, minorities would rule the country: colonizers ruled over the native indians, Brazilian Royal Family was portuguese, the country went trhough military dictatorship, and even today it can be considered that even with many political parties, few actually have voice. There is no escape …
Thus, what the citizen, the man, the worker can’t do is accept whatever is imposed, accept that his dreams become unreachable. If that happens, he/she won’t get anywhere in life.

Sejamos honestos, quem tem o dom de se virar e de ganhar a vida com o seu talento, seja ele de música, esporte, dança ou qualquer outra coisa, geralmente não está muito interessado em ficar trancafiado numa sala estudando. Quer ser livre, com um diploma ou não.

Filosofia popular no seu melhor.


Let’s be honest, who has the gift of caring for his/her own business without help, making a living out of their talent, being music, sport, dance or anything else, is not usually very interested in getting locked up in a room studying. This person wants to be free, with a diploma or not.

Popular philosophy at its finest.

Não esquenta a cabeça com os problemas e nem se preocupe em ficar reclamando: Tá ruim pra todo mundo, a vida não é fácil. Tá ruim pro Marcelo, não vai estar ruim pra você?

D2 compara a vida a um jogo. E como sabemos do ditado: “Sorte no jogo, azar no amor”.
Se o jogo da vida está ruim… Pelo menos o amor segue na direção oposta.


Do not worry much about the problems don’t even consider complaining about them 24/7: Life’s bad for everyone right now, it ain’t easy. If it’s going bad for Marcelo, you thought it wouldn’t be bad for you?

D2 compares life to a game. And as we know from the saying: “Lucky in games, unlucky in love.”
If the game of life is bad … At least love goes in the opposite direction.

Esses problemas e fases difíceis da vida podem ser vencidos, como o próprio D2 diz. Ele vinha no caminho da vida, viu o problema e o venceu.

Claro que “Vim, Vi, Venci” – “Veni, vidi, vici” – é a famosa frase atribuída ao imperador romano Júlio César, sobre uma pequena guerra.
Ou, se você prefere pensar que rap governa o mundo – um belo pensamento a se ter – a mesma frase foi usada por Jay-Z.

Marcelo D2 também é cultura.


He had been on the path of life, saw a problem and won. These problems and difficult phases of life can be overcome, as the D2 says, quoting the famous phrase attributed to Roman Emperor Julius Caesar: “I came, I saw, I conquered” – “Veni, vidi, vici”.
Or, if you prefer to act completely rap centered, quoting Jay-Z

Marcelo D2 is also culture.

Lição de Vida do grande D2: Alguns dos testes que a vida vai aplicar vão ser difíceis, vão te levar ao seu limite. O que não adianta é ficar reclamando e dizendo que não tem o que fazer. Como diz o próprio D2, é preciso lutar.


Life Lesson from D2: Some of the tests that life will apply will be difficult, will push you to your limit. It doesn’t help at all to start bitching and saying there’s nothing you can do. As the D2 said himself, we need to fight.

Pode-se ver nos dois primeiros versos a utilização do recurso literário do encadeamento ou enjambement. Ou seja, ou o primeiro verso termina realmente com uma simples repetição de “um homem” ou ele se encaixa no verso seguinte para completar seu significado, sendo a frase completa “Se você se porta como um homem, um homem será.”

E para se portar como um homem, as chaves são manter a conduta e seguir lutando; chaves discutidas durante toda a música.


You can see in the first two verses the usage of the literary device of enjambement, enjambment or run on line. That is, in this case, either the first verse ends with a really simple repetition of “um homem” (translated “a man”), or it counts on the following verse to complete its meaning, and the whole sentence would be “Se você se porta como um homem, um homem será.”(translated “If you behave like a man, a man you’ll be.”)

And to behave as a man, the keys are to keep the conduct and continue fighting; these keys are discussed throughout the song.
