Pesmom protiv krize: Deolinda

Folk-pop kvarter Deolinda muzički gledano, ne donosi ništa novo. Njihov stil zasnovan je na tradicionalnom portugalskom folk zvuku, posebno na žanru fado. Drugim rečima, pesme benda Deolinda su mirne, ali veoma melodične.

Januara 2011. godine, objavili su svoju prvu pesmu “Parva que sou” (Kakva sam budala). Govori o nepostojanju perspektive za mnoge mlade Portugalce. Preko noć je njihov debitantski singl, postao hit širom zemlje.

Veliki broj mladih ljudi shvatili su poruku pesme, a što je još važnije, da nisu sami u svojim brigama, pre svega kada je reč o uzaludnoj potrazi za poslom i sigrunim primanjima. Tako se rodila i ideja o velikom protestu, upriličenom dva meseca kasnije - 12. marta 2011, kada se na uliama Lisabona okupilo preko 300.000 ljudi. Organizaciji velikog protesta, omogućile su društvene mreže na Internetu.

"Parva que sou" (What a Fool I Am)

I'm part of the unpaid generation
But this condition doesn't bother me
What a fool I am
Because this is bad and will only continue
I'm already lucky to get an internship
What a fool I am
And I keep thinking
What a stupid world it is
Where you have to study to be a slave
I'm part of the "I live with my parents" generation
If I already have everything, why do I want more?
What a fool I am
Children, husband, I keep postponing that
And I still have to pay for my car
What a fool I am
And I keep thinking
What a stupid world it is
Where you have to study to be a slave
I'm part of the "Why complain?" generation
On TV there's somebody who's doing much worse than I am
What a fool I am
I'm part of the "I can't do it anymore!" generation
Because this situation has been going on much too long
And I'm not a fool
And I keep thinking
What a stupid world it is
Where you have to study to be a slave
