Cruzeiro Campeão e Corinthians Não KKK
FutParódias
A Playful Ode to Cruzeiro's Triumph and Corinthians' Misfortune
The song "Cruzeiro Campeão e Corinthians Não KKK" by FutParódias is a humorous and satirical take on the football rivalry between Cruzeiro and Corinthians, two prominent Brazilian football clubs. The lyrics celebrate Cruzeiro's success while poking fun at Corinthians' struggles, particularly in their home stadium, the Arena Corinthians, humorously referred to as the "Eliminates Arena."
The song opens by highlighting Cruzeiro's dominance, suggesting that the team is so skilled that they could win the World Cup, a feat humorously attributed to players like Egídio. The lyrics contrast this with Corinthians' tendency to falter under pressure, especially in their own stadium. The repeated call for "água benta" (holy water) and a priest to bless the stadium underscores the idea that Corinthians' misfortunes are almost supernatural, requiring divine intervention to overcome.
Further into the song, the lyrics continue to praise Cruzeiro's players, such as Arrascaeta, and mock Corinthians' bad luck, particularly with the use of VAR (Video Assistant Referee) decisions that seem to tease the team by giving and then taking away favorable outcomes. The playful tone and use of colloquial language, including the mocking "KKK" (a Brazilian equivalent of "LOL"), add to the song's lighthearted and teasing nature.
Overall, the song captures the essence of football banter, celebrating one team's success while humorously highlighting another's failures. It reflects the passionate and often playful nature of football fandom in Brazil, where rivalries are intense but also a source of entertainment and camaraderie.
