Abaixa o vidro vejo a noite seminua
Desfile das modelo pela rua
Nissan Sport Line o frevo começou
Som no estacionamento e a rua aglomerou
Cordão e camiseta fumação no Golf
Cara preta bagaceira grave tipo smurphies
Arrogante em meio aos nobres em Brasília club
Campari, Ballantine′s, red, G6 dub
Bem perto do dilúvio, cerveja e minissaia
Polícia quer o opala, passa dessa fita paia
Siga reto, cigarrilha mista, lombra, late maia
Só fumaça, giroflex brilha e as mina vaia
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Mania te chapar

Lembro do eight eight
Com coca cola jhow
Agora eu ligo o som
E admiro a lua sobre a luz do xénon
Vejo o pecado no ar, morena abre o teto
De porta-mala aberto
Vinte por hora no bobódromo destino certo
Vamo pra praça que as menina tá foguenta

Overall Meaning

The song "Golfman" by Tribo da Periferia is an ode to the Volkswagen Golf, a popular car in Brazil, and to the lifestyle that surrounds it. The lyrics describe the thrill of driving around at night, blasting music, and attracting attention with the car. The song mentions various brands of alcohol and other luxury items, painting a picture of a flashy and indulgent lifestyle.


The chorus of the song, which repeats the phrase "Golfman, maníacos" (Golfman, maniacs), emphasizes the passion that the car inspires in its owners and admirers. The verses, filled with slang and references to Brazilian culture, celebrate the freedom and rebellion that come with cruising the streets in a Golf.


Although the lyrics of "Golfman" may seem superficial and hedonistic at first glance, they can also be read as a commentary on the social and economic inequalities that shape Brazilian society. The song recognizes that the pleasures of the Golf lifestyle are not available to everyone, and that some people have to work harder and struggle more to achieve their goals.
