Paysandu Estaremos Contigo
Terror Bicolor
The Unwavering Passion of a Fan
The song "Paysandu Estaremos Contigo" by Terror Bicolor is a vibrant anthem that captures the fervent spirit of a sports fan, specifically a supporter of Paysandu Sport Club, a Brazilian football team. The lyrics express an unwavering commitment to the team, regardless of the circumstances. The phrase 'Tu és minha Payxão' is a play on words combining 'Paysandu' with 'paixão,' which means 'passion' in Portuguese, indicating the deep emotional connection the fans have with their team.
The mention of 'o manto sagrado' and 'a bandeira na mão' symbolizes the sacredness of the team's jersey and the pride of carrying the team's flag, which are common practices among dedicated sports fans. These elements are not just accessories but represent the identity and loyalty of the supporters. The 'Papão,' a nickname for the team, is personified as waiting for the fans to start the celebration, suggesting a reciprocal relationship between the team and its supporters.
The chorus, with its repetitive 'Xalaialaiaa' followed by declarations of love and the effect the team has on the fans ('Você me deixa doidão!' which translates to 'You drive me crazy!'), is indicative of the euphoria and emotional highs that come with being a sports fan. This song is a testament to the collective joy and communal experience that sports can bring, creating a sense of belonging and unity among fans.
