Seu Jorge Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning
E vem o sol fazer ficar tudo bem
Se vai combinar com o jeans, já isso eu não sei
Lady Stardust no seu mundo
Quero ser seu rei
E ser um bom pai
Tirar sua tristeza
E ser um bom pai
Viver a natureza
E ser um bom pai
Ficar em paz querer mudar pro time do bom pai
Pai bom
Agora eu não sei se é certo que eu me sinta assim
Por outro lado eu sei que não é o fim
Só quero te dar prazer, isso eu sei
Lady Stardust no seu mundo
Quero ser seu rei
E ser um bom pai
Tirar sua tristeza
E ser um bom pai
Viver a natureza
E ser um bom pai
Ficar em paz querer mudar pro time do bom pai
Pai bom
Não ve me faz
Eu te amo, foi voce quem fez
Querer ser um bom pai
Tirar sua tristeza
E ser um bom pai
Viver a natureza
E ser um bom pai
Ficar em paz querer mudar pro time do bom pai
Pai bom

Seu Jorge has gained exposure through his work as an actor and soundtrack composer. He appeared in the critically acclaimed 2002 film City of God as Mané Galinha, directed by filmmakers Fernando Meirelles and Katia Lund, and then played Pelé dos Santos in Wes Anderson's The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, for which he provided much of the soundtrack in the form of Portuguese language cover versions of David Bowie classics. Bowie later went on to say about his cover album, The Life Aquatic Studio Sessions, that "had Seu Jorge not recorded my songs in Portuguese I would never have heard this new level of beauty which he has imbued them with".
In June 2006, he performed at Bonnaroo music festival in Manchester, Tennessee and at the Festival Sudoeste TMN in Portugal.

The album has been described as "how powerful Brazilian soul music can be".
In 2011, he collaborated with Beck on the Mario C. remix of "Tropicália" for the Red Hot Organization's most recent charitable album Red Hot+Rio 2.
In 2012, he collaborated with American fashion designer Rachel Roy on a line of sportswear, footwear, jewelry and handbags.
