"Das 200 Para Lá" - Brazilian Lobster War Song [Lyrics + Translation]

Written in response to the "Lobster War", this song was composed by João Nogueira and sung by Eliana Pittman, and was released in 1971.
The Lobster War (Guerra da Lagosta) was a dispute over spiny lobsters that occurred from 1961 to 1963 between Brazil and France. The dispute began with French vessels fishing for lobsters 100 miles off the northeastern coast of Brazil, stating that it was legal as "lobsters swim". The Brazilian government refused to allow thism arguing that lobsters "crawl along the continental shelf." Both sides of the dispute deployed warships, with Brazil even dedicating three Air Force squadrons to the task. The dispute was resolved unilaterally by Brazil by extending its territorial waters to 200 miles outward, after which the French peacefully withdrew.

France: "Maybe we can fish lobsters here, the brazilians will never know... Why I'm hearing boss music?"
Brazil: "Debaixo do pescoço é canela..."

Fishing wars be fire. Especially the third cod war, like one guy died that’s how extreme it was.

Wow, starting a war all because of lobsters.

[@potatouno]

in fact countries living "cold war" for fishing and marine life is relatively common, like the United Kingdom and Ireland in the Cod War

If it was a war on my house: This house is mine, take your eviction notice away from this house. This house is mine, take your eviction notice away! This house is mine, take your eviction notice away from this house. This house is mine, take your eviction notice away! Go throw your paper from 200 miles away! Green eyed landlord, Go buy land somewhere else! This house is mine, take your eviction notice away! This house is mine, take your eviction notice away! And the landlord goes. With the eviction notice!
