Jogado Na Prisão Lyrics in English by Natanzinho Lima
Desgraça translates to "disgrace" or "misfortune." It's a strong word that conveys a sense of deep trouble or calamity.
In the song, the narrator uses it to describe the tragic event that led to his imprisonment: "Com amigo, uma desgraça que me aconteceu" (With a friend, a misfortune that happened to me). This word perfectly encapsulates the devastating turn of events in the song's narrative, making it a memorable and impactful choice.
Get ready for a wild ride with Natanzinho Lima's "Jogado Na Prisão"! This song, which Natanzinho calls "a hymn in my homeland, Itabaiana Sergipe," tells a dramatic story of love, betrayal, and regret.
The song kicks off with the narrator's friends finding him "Bêbado caído no chão" [drunk, fallen on the ground]. He's in despair because he caught his wife "bebendo em um cabaré com um grande amigo seu" [drinking in a cabaret with a great friend of his]. In a fit of rage, he shoots them both, ending up in prison. But after ten years, he's out and full of remorse, warning listeners, "Estou arrependido e te peço amigo não faça isso não" [I am repentant and I ask you, friend, don't do this]. It's a powerful tale about the consequences of impulsive actions.
