Brazilian Football Songs

Brazilian Football Songs

Many songs are used to express and love of Brazilians for Football (soccer) and commemorate the country victories into the FIFA World Cup. Though foreign fans and broadcasters usually play "Aquarela do Brasil" in Brazilian matches, these are rarely associated to the game in Brazil.

Canal 100 Tune

Perhaps the most popular melody associated to football in Brazil is "Na Cadência do Samba", widely known as "Que bonito é" ("How beautiful it is"), which served as the theme tune for "Canal 100", a newsreel ("cinejornal") running in local theaters from 1962 up to early 1980s. It is a soft samba composed and written by Luis Bandeira, famous for his frevo compositions for Carnival in Pernambuco. Although it had lyrics, the song was used by the newsreel producer Carlos Niemeyer in a purely instrumental version, orchestrated with trumpets and piano. More can be seen (and heard) at the [http://www.canal100.com.br newsreel website] .

A Taça do Mundo é Nossa

"A Taça do Mundo é Nossa" ("The World Cup is Ours") was introduced in 1958 after Brazil won its first World Cup title. It was composed by Maugeri, Müller, Sobrinho e Dagô.

Lyrics

:(*) The song was updated in 1998 for the fifith title campaign. "Taça na raça Brasil" was changed to "Tenta que é penta Brazil". It was used again in 2002, but slightly modified due to the loss in 1998. In 2006, Globo TV did not use the lyrics anymore but still used the song melody.

(*) "Papa Essa Brasil" (Got it Brazil) was the Globo TV World Cup 1990 song, but later it was abandoned.

Eu Sou Brasileiro

"I am Brazilian", introduced in a Ambev [http://www.skol.com.br SKOL] beer TV commercial in late 1990s and used mainly in World Cup 2002.

Lyrics

:

The song can be sung in regular matches of the Campeonato Brasileiro and in games of other popular sports of Brazil such as Volleyball and Basketball. It became popular around the 1998 World Cup.

Trivia

Something that would be worthy of note, was that this song was first sung after Brazil's defeat to France in the 1998 World Cup.
