Friday's Sung Word: "G-E-Gê or 'Seu' Getúlio" by Lamartine Babo (in Portuguese)

Só mesmo com a revolução
Graças ao rádio e o Parabelo*
Nós vamos ter transformação
Neste Brasil verde amarelo

G-e-gê, ge
T-u-tú-tu
L-i-li,o
Ge-tú-lio

Certa menina do Encantado*
Cujo papai foi senador
Ao ver o povo de encarnado*
Sem se pintar, mudou de cor


* Parabelo was a revolver label.
* Encantado is a Rio de Janeiro's neighbourhood.
* Encarnado means "red" a color who identifies the gauchos revolutionaires with no direct connection with communist movement.



You can hear 'G-E-Ge or 'Seu' Getúlio" sung by Bando de Tangarás and the Guanabara Orchestra here.
