LOUD (the org) released a song today about their VALORANT team
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYvHCN4cEhQ
The song itself has a few disses to other orgs and light banter against opponents in general.
The Team had nothing to do with this, this is a marketing move, a way of getting some traction amongst their fans and the community in general.
BUT, to any non-portuguese speaker who sees it might not understand the translated lyrics, and since im bored i made a re-translation with [[ ]] comments explaining references and expressions in the song.
I also want to remind people that orgs and players are separate entities and there can be Arrogant ORGs with Humble players, or vice-versa.
-----------------------------------
You Know
Brazil is LOUD
LOUD is Brazil
Everyone who tried
Didn't make it stick
They play at night
Cuz your game is sleepy
[[ Basically no effort is required to win agaisnt you ]]
You thought we wouldnt win
Observe
How easy it is
To win against your crew
[[ Beloved teams your region possesess ]]
You ain't got a crowd
If you arent at the Gringa
[[ Literally just means anywhere that isnt brazil, i dont really understand how this is a diss, they could've said something along the lines of Gringo crowds not having passion, but whatever ]]
Im just like Cauanzin
Cold and Tactical
[[ The tactical here has a meaning of having a clear mind when making your strategy ]]
Call the Captain
He decides your fate( Sadhaak)
Stay calm
He is your son, you already know that
[[ This phrase is from the POV of saadhak himself, the expression "he is your son" correlates to the american expression of "owning someone" or "you are in my pocket", basically saying that you are the father of the player you are dominating, because it is the father's duty to discipline his child ]]
I'm pulling weight like Tuyz
[[ Literally every post Tuyz makes on social media is about him going to the gym so that is a reference to that ]]
Spinning like Aspas, i never run out of ammo
[[ Reference to the Gira Aspas meme, which pertains to Aspas's incredible Jett movement plays where he spins his agent making his hitbox harder to hit, this is also a reference to the chamber of a revolver that spins, implying that he is always prepared for a fight/altercation ]]
Less, made them fear him, in game more than 10
[[ The number ten here is used simply because it rimes in portuguese with Less's name ]]
If he picks Viper, you won't even be at his feet
[[ The implication here is that Less is so good as Viper that being "at his feet" is not plausible, you are below him, in this case, below even his feet ]]
Surfin this wave
Champion, i dash like Jett
[[ The implication is that they are quick to attain the trophy ]]
If i equip a Vandal Prime
Believe that it will happen
I only wake up if LOUD is the champion
[[ This is a reference to the first verses where he claims that the opponents game is easy and not difficult to beat, visa-vi "he can win this while asleep", so he only wakes up to celebrate ]]
Off to Japan, we are turning the heat up in this town
[[ Their game is on fire ]]
We have Frod on the team
He will be a champion again
[[ There is a focus on the word again, meaning this is a common occurrence for Frod ]]
You ask yourselves how they play like this
Being so young
You only won before because we weren't here
[[ Here means the Pro scene ]]
Do you know what you were unaware?
Brazil is LOUD
LOUD is Brazil
Everyone who tried
Didn't make it stick
They play at night
Cuz your game is sleepy
[[ Basically no effort is required to win against you ]]
You thought we wouldnt win
Observe
How easy it is
To win against your crew
[[ Beloved teams your region possesess ]]
You ain't got a crowd

We won against everyone
7 - 0
[[ I assume NRG is not being mentioned since they managed to win against in GF, although this number doesnt include Leviathan, so this must be an omission to make the lyrics sound better ]]
Everyone
While you say we are lucky
Your misfortune creeps in
[[ Jab at C9 since they called LOUD lucky to have won their Head-To-Head, but lost at playoffs not making it to Tokyo ]]
For them to take people from our crew
They need to pay alot
[[ Jab at Sentinels, since they had to pay a very big amount to get $acy and Pancada, this also verse also makes the the "misfortune creeps in" be a double diss to both C9 and SEN ]]
Your pix, Doesn't come with a crowd
[[ A jab at other orgs, and how they attempt to buy out LOUDs players, PIX is a brazillian mode of transferring money online without taxes and fees. Also implies that LOUD has the biggest crowd in the world ]]
And it doesn't come with talent, Dumbass
[[ I think this might be a jab at Bzka, since he allegedly had more of an administrative role on the old LOUD roster and the strats where made by Saadhak and $acy, but im not sure so take it with a grain of salt.]]
(Like this)
It doesn't matter what you pay
My crew makes it in one month
[[ Referencing how even if you offer alot of money, it doesnt matter to their players because they will win that amount on tournaments anyway ]]
Stomping
Winning everything i dreamed of
Calm down and breathe
Count from one to three
Off to Japan
To do what no one did
Observe
How easy it is
To win against your crew
[[ Beloved teams your region possesess ]]
You ain't got a crowd
If you arent at the Gringa
[[ Literally just means anywhere that isnt brazil, i dont really understand how this is a diss, they could've said something along the lines of Gringo crowds not having passion, but whatever ]]

I'm pulling weight like Tuyz
Make the L
[[ Its referencing the L-shape a hand can make, which is also Loud's initial, its a symbol, a way of demonstrating support to the team/org ]]
