Ei Alemão

The song 'Ei Alemão' by Inferno Coral is a spirited anthem that captures the intense pride and rivalry associated with Brazilian football culture, particularly focusing on the Santa Cruz Football Club and its passionate supporters. The lyrics are a direct address to their rivals, often referred to as 'alemão,' a colloquial term used in Brazilian football to denote opponents, especially those from rival teams. The song is a declaration of loyalty and superiority, emphasizing the strength and unity of the Santa Cruz supporters, known as Inferno Coral.

The lyrics highlight the celebratory atmosphere in the stadium, where fans of Santa Cruz gather to cheer for their team. The phrase 'O estadio todo comemorando só na moral' reflects the collective joy and moral high ground that the fans feel during matches. The song also underscores the dominance of Inferno Coral in the capital, portraying them as the leading force in the local football scene. This is evident in lines like 'Na capital, a inferno e o comando,' which translates to 'In the capital, Inferno is in command.'

Furthermore, the song takes a confrontational tone towards rival teams, particularly Sport and Náutico, two other prominent football clubs in Pernambuco. The lyrics 'Sport com fanautico, também passa mal' suggest that these teams also struggle against the might of Inferno Coral. The song's aggressive stance is further emphasized with lines like 'No arrudão, pode crer agente manda e os alemão com certeza agente espanca,' indicating their dominance in their home stadium, Arruda, and their readiness to 'beat' their rivals. The song concludes with a reaffirmation of their pride in the club's colors—red, black, and white—and their belief in Santa Cruz's superiority.
