What a fool I am! www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDIsdDjeOOg
"The song 'Parva que Sou' was premiered in 4 concerts on Lisbon and OPorto Coliseums' in January 2011. The lyrics are sung in the first person, as if the singer is talking about herself, and accurately criticize the modern times where young men and women applying and studying for degrees and courses are soon to become slaves of the business world or the society they live in, hence the title's name (which literal translation is: The Fool I Am).
'Parva que Sou' was immediately considered an anthem of a generation and became a viral song in several social networks." (in Wikipedia).
The song illustrated by this pic is inspired on the 30/35 years old people who achieved licensing or superior courses and could not find but precarious jobs or are in the dole... A global 'plague', I know, but particularly dramatic in my country, a country facing a deep crisis and a very low social mobility. Yesterday there was a big manifestation in several cities of Portugal (only in Lisbon, more than 200000 people), promoted by those 'young' men and women. The starting point of this social movement was precisely this song... The translation does not make justice to the original lyrics (I believe it is an automatic one) and my English is not strong enough to improve it very much. I am sorry for that.
TRANSLATION:
"I belong to the 'no pay' generation and this condition does not bother me.
What a fool I am!
Because this is bad and will continue, already I'm lucky that I could intern.
What a fool I am!
And I think to myself, what a fool world where you must study to become a slave.
I am from the generation 'house of parents', if I already have everything, why to want more?
What a fool I am!
Sons, husband, I'm always postponing and I still am failing to pay for the car.
What a fool I am!
And I think to myself, what a fool world where you must study to become a slave.
I am from the generation 'complaining for what?', there is someone worse than me on TV.
What a fool I am!
I am from the generation 'I can't do it anymore', this situation lasts for far too long.
And I'm not a fool!
And I think to myself, what a fool world where you must study to become a slave."
