Leva Nóiz - Justice League

Liga da Justiça, by Leva Nóiz, is a common example of axé music, made in Bahia and other northeastern states. The comics reference, though, is quite a new idea.



The lyrics go something like this (but with a few variations that I wouldn't waste my time translating):

JUSTICE LEAGUE


We'd better call the other Super Friends before the whole Legion of Doom arrives!


Superman got weak,
The Penguin threw some cryptonite,
Lex Luthor and the Joker stole Wonder Woman's lasso


Superman got weak,
The Penguin threw some cryptonite,
Lex Luthor and the Joker stole Wonder Woman's lasso


The Justice League is all taken over
Now there's only one way out!


Run away! Run away, Wonder Woman
Run away! Run away! With Superman
Run away! Run away, Wonder Woman
Run away! Run away! With Superman
Run away! Run away, Wonder Woman
Run away! Run away! With Superman
Run away! Run away, Wonder Woman
Run away! Run away! With Superman
Run away! Run away, Wonder Woman
Run away! Run away! With Superman


You're my Wonder, I'm your Superman,
Here with Leva's swing is where I wanna see you, baby!


You're my Wonder, I'm your Superman,
Here with Leva's swing is where I wanna see you, baby!


The Justice League is all taken over
Now there's only one way out!


Run away! Run away, Wonder Woman
Run away! Run away! With Superman
Run away! Run away, Wonder Woman
Run away! Run away! With Superman
Run away! Run away, Wonder Woman
Run away! Run away! With Superman
Run away! Run away, Wonder Woman
Run away! Run away! With Superman
Run away! Run away, Wonder Woman
Run away! Run away! With Superman


The Justice League is all taken over
Now there's only one way out!


Run away! Run away, Wonder Woman
Run away! Run away! With Superman
Run away! Run away, Wonder Woman
Run away! Run away! With Superman
Run away! Run away, Wonder Woman
Run away! Run away! With Superman
Run away! Run away, Wonder Woman
Run away! Run away! With Superman
Run away! Run away, Wonder Woman
Run away! Run away! With Superman


The Justice League is all taken over


Run away! Run away, Wonder Woman
Run away! Run away! With Superman
Run away! Run away, Wonder Woman
Run away! Run away! With Superman
Run away! Run away, Wonder Woman
Run away! Run away! With Superman
Run away! Run away, Wonder Woman
Run away! Run away! With Superman
Run away! Run away, Wonder Woman
Run away! Run away! With Superman


Super Friends, Salvador City!
Super Friends, Salvador City!
Super Friends, Salvador City!
Super Friends, Salvador City!


The Justice League is all taken over
Now there's only one way out!


Run away! Run away, Wonder Woman
Run away! Run away! With Superman
Run away! Run away, Wonder Woman
Run away! Run away! With Superman
Run away! Run away, Wonder Woman
Run away! Run away! With Superman
Run away! Run away, Wonder Woman
Run away! Run away! With Superman
Run away! Run away, Wonder Woman
Run away! Run away! With Superman

And there's more: as usually happens with a lot of popular Brazilian music, there's a pun. The word "foge", translated as "run away", sounds a lot like "fode", i. e., "fuck". Make your own conclusions.

And yes, I'm embarassed.
