Dá-lhe Dá-lhe Meu Vasco

“Dá-lhe Dá-lhe Meu Vasco” is a spirited and passionate song dedicated to the Brazilian football club Vasco da Gama. The lyrics are simple yet powerful, capturing the essence of a devoted fan's love for their team. The repetition of the phrase “Dá-lhe Dá-lhe Meu Vasco” serves as a rallying cry, a chant that unites supporters in their unwavering support for the club. This repetition emphasizes the deep emotional connection and the sense of community among the fans.

The song's protagonist identifies as a bohemian, someone who embraces a carefree and unconventional lifestyle. The line “Eu sou boêmio, sim senhor” (I am a bohemian, yes sir) highlights this identity. The bohemian lifestyle is often associated with a love for art, music, and, in this case, football. The protagonist's declaration of drinking “todas que vier” (all that comes) signifies a celebratory and indulgent approach to life, where every moment is an opportunity to toast to their beloved team.

The most poignant part of the song is the declaration of love for Vasco da Gama: “Bebo pelo meu VASCO, Meu único amor” (I drink for my Vasco, my only love). This line encapsulates the depth of the fan's devotion, suggesting that their love for the team surpasses all other affections. It portrays the football club as a central and defining aspect of the fan's identity, a source of joy, pride, and belonging. The song, therefore, is not just about supporting a football team; it is about celebrating a way of life and a community bound by shared passion and loyalty.
