Geni

Geni is a character created by Chico Buarque in the song “Geni e o Zepelim” of the album “Opera do Malandro”. This song tells the story of Genival and Geni. Two persons in one. Genival by day, and Geni by night. One day the city where Geni lives, needs her help and his life changes (but returns to normal, moments later). This song has a politic interpretation, because this year, Brazil was in military regime.

Below, the song composed by Chico Buarque:


Geni and the Zepelim


Of everything that’s strange man

Of mangrove and pier

She has already dated

His body belongs to strangers

To blinds and retiring men

She is whoever has nothing

She is this way since she was a child
In the garage, in the snack bar,

Behind the pool, in the woods

She is queen of prison

Of crazy and disgusting people

Of the children of boarding school

And she also goes slowly

With oldies with no health

And the widows sexless

She is kindness

And because of this, the city

Repeats all over again:

Throw stones at Geni!

Throw stones at Geni!

She is made to spank
She is good to spit

She gives herself to everyone

Damn Geni!

One day, arose shiny

Behind the clouds, floating

A big Zepelim

Stopped on buildings

Open two thousands holes

With two thousands cannons

The scared city

Was paralyzed

Read to be jelly

But, on the bigger Zepelim

Down the captain

Saying: I changed idea!

When I see this city

Many horror and wrong

I decide explode everything

But, I can’t prevent the drama

If that lovely lady

This night serve me

That lady was Geni

But can not be Geni

She is made for catch

She is good for spit
She make sexy with everyone

Damn Geni!

But of fact, she was

So poor and simple
Enchanter the foreign

The gallant fighter

So powerful and feared

She was, prison

But the lady
And that was a secret her

Also have his wills

And to sleep with so high man

Smelling shine and copper

She prefer love with animals

To hear so heresy

The city in group
Was kissed his hand

The mayor of knees in ground
The priest with red eyes
And the banker with one million:

Go to her, go Geni!

Go to her, go Geni!
You can save us!

You make sexy with everyone!

Blessed Geni!

Was so many solicitations
So true and sentimental
That she change idea
And that intense night
She go to captain
Like torture

He did so much dirt
All night

Until be tired

And before dawn
He’s gone in cold cloud

With her silver zepelim

In sigh of relief

She turn around

And attempted smile

But soon dawned day

And the city sing

Don’t let she sleep

Throw stones at Geni!

Throw stones at Geni!

She is made to spank
She is good to spit

She gives herself to everyone


Damn Geni!
