Seu Jorge (born June 8, 1970; Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈsew ˈʒɔʁʒi]) is a Brazilian musician, singer/songwriter and actor. Born Jorge Mário da Silva, he was raised in a favela in what is now known as the city of Belford Roxo, near Rio de Janeiro. When he was 19, he became homeless and remained homeless for three years; nonetheless, his musical talent flourished when he was living in the streets and he became known in the favelas. He is considered by many a renewer of Brazilian pop samba. Seu Jorge cites samba schools, and American soul singer Stevie Wonder as major musical influences. Jorge is also known for his role as Knockout Ned in the 2002 film City of God. His work has notably received praise from several of his fellow musicians such as Beck and David Bowie.
As a singer, Seu Jorge was part of the band Farofa Carioca, writing most of the songs of their 1998 debut album Moro no Brasil. In 2001 he released Samba Esporte Fino, a pop album influenced by musicians Jorge Ben Jor, Gilberto Gil, and Milton Nascimento. It was released outside Brazil under the name Carolina in 2003. His second album, the critically acclaimed Cru ("Raw"), was released in 2005. Seu Jorge also recorded the live duo album "Ana & Jorge" with Brazilian singer Ana Carolina, released in Brazil in 2005.
Eu figo cego
Meu bem, não vejo mais nada
Fico pensando em você
Fico querendo te ver
Vou me iludindo na parada
Vou me iludindo, sim
Fico pensando que você é perfeita pra mim
Feito Romeu e Julieta, um romance sem fim
E possuído eu vou trilhando esse caminho
Sem sentido algum
Você é minha musa, minha medusa
Que me enfeitiça com seu jeito de olhar
Eu vou vendado e vendido, petrificado de medo
Porque eu não sei seu segredo
Você não quer me contar
Margarida, por exemplo, sempre me agradou
Mas aí, chegou um dia, ela vacilou, aí rodou
Chegou Rosinha
Que era bem bonitinha, mas não tava na minha
Foi aí que eu resolvi fazer direito
Fui procurar por aí o par perfeito
Nas suas curvas perdi o freio
Assim perdido, feito cego em tiroteio
