Against Le Corbu
Another filmer and crew that seem unable to put a foot wrong, Flanantes and Murilo Ramão are back with another video, filmed in the Brazilian planned city of Brasília. I hope the translation below is at least a little something like it should be!
"It's just another Thursday
Between the roads and below the stars
We move on with little money
But full of hope Breathing in the fresh air
By the Brazilian roads
The saw is our destiny
Land of many northeasterns
Hardworking people who built with sweat and love
What we call today new city splendor
They said Brasilia would belong to everyone
Of all the people
From the poor, rich, politician or unemployed In the end, who conquered the best space It was the wretches who had power
To make us shut up Just like in Egypt, the people who built the city
At the end they were expelled against their will
Many died without the sparkle in their eyes. To feel in body and core
The taste of your own soil
This is sad and shocking us
That's why the flanants came to Brasilia
Investigate these injustices
Grounded in subversive ideas and maneuvers
We are a small group of flanglers
With an idea formed and ready for rematch
Our goal is to skate
On planned sidewalks and streets
From the north, south, east, west and the broken sectors
Be the new wide-legged candangos
Claiming our rights
For public use of avenues, squares and also terraces
The horizon has no owner
While we are skateboarders we will keep dreaming
Making trips, getting lost and finding yourself
Flanar is the food
For souls seeking knowledge".
