E a Gambazada Viverá a Chorar

The song "E a Gambazada Viverá a Chorar" by Mancha Verde is a passionate tribute to the Brazilian football club Palmeiras. The lyrics reflect the deep emotional connection and unwavering loyalty that the fans, particularly those from the Mancha Verde supporters' group, have for their team. The song opens with a reference to a match where the opposing team, likely Corinthians (referred to as 'gambazada'), fled in fear, unable to match Palmeiras' strength and determination. This sets the tone for a narrative of pride and superiority over their rivals.

The lyrics emphasize the lifelong commitment of the fans to Palmeiras, highlighting how the love for the team is passed down through generations. The colors green, white, and red symbolize the club and the addiction-like devotion the fans have. The song conveys that the fans' support is unwavering, regardless of the outcome of the matches. This sentiment is encapsulated in the lines, "Pra mim, não importa perder ou ganhar! Se o Palmeiras jogar, a Mancha está lá!" which translates to "For me, it doesn't matter if we lose or win! If Palmeiras plays, Mancha is there!"

The song also serves as a taunt to their rivals, particularly Corinthians, suggesting that they will always live in the shadow of Palmeiras' greatness. The phrase "E a gambazada viverá a chorar!" translates to "And the 'gambazada' will live to cry!" This not only reinforces the rivalry but also the belief that Palmeiras will always be superior. The song is a powerful expression of fan culture, loyalty, and the intense emotions that football evokes in Brazil.
