Lotus 72D

Lotus, Lotus, Lotus 72D-D-D
Lotus, Lotus, Lotus 72D-D-D
It's the time machine and, at speed, there's no equal
And in a great tournament of character
International Formula 1

Our Brazilian was invited to participate
In his condition as champion, world champion
In our sports square
Interlagos, in our capital
São Paulo, land of drizzle

With a surprising heat of 38 degrees
Attention, attention
The main start was given, our Emerson in the lead
Reaching the maximum speed his car has

At Orange Curve he stopped
To have a vitamin
At S Curve, those who couldn't write
Got in trouble, went off track
At Elbow Curve he handled it
Wonderfully well
At Sergeant Curve he led the competitors
Like a general

And the crowd from outside, amazed, watching the race
Was proud and cheered
With the victory of our champion

The finish line is approaching
The final straight
Our Emerson in the lead is emerging
And everyone shouted with great emotion
Hail, Emerson, 73

Hail, Emerson, 73
Hail, Emerson, 73
Hail, Emerson, 73
