Watch the video: Gui Tavares - "Pancada"

This is a silly song about a car that is falling apart and doesn’t always run the way it is supposed to, but whose owner loves it anyway.

“I bought a car that is the best / Everything you can think of, he does / I think he is really beautiful / But people say he is strange / When you start him up he goes into reverse / There is a hole in the floor so you can use your foot as a brake / And when you try to change direction, the engine heats up and there is a bang.”
