Evanílson Aparecido Ferreira, simply known as Evanílson (born 12 September 1975), is a Brazilian retired footballer.
A player of wide range who spent most of his career with Borussia Dortmund, he could play as either a right back of midfielder.
Born in Diamantina, Minas Gerais, Evanílson started his senior career with América Futebol Clube (MG), joining Cruzeiro Esporte Clube for the 1999 season. On 16 August of that year he left the Belo Horizonte club and signed with Borussia Dortmund, making his Bundesliga debut 13 days later and being sent off in a 1–0 away win against SSV Ulm 1846.
Evanílson's contractual situation was somewhat complex: in 2001, his compatriot Márcio Amoroso moved from Parma A.C. to Dortmund for €25 million. In return, Evanílson was sold in the opposite direction for €17,5 million, for accounting reasons; Dortmund then received Evanílson on loan, only paying "beer money" for this move and, in 2003, a contractual clause was triggered which forced Dortmund to buy him back for €15 million.

Tick tock tick tock ticking
Away
Well I poured my heart into my hands
But emotion took the best of me
And walked away
Now I hang my head
I start to cry
I wonder why I had to even wake up today
Then I see what I've waited for
And it makes me smile again
Think about the times I couldn't stand no more
Then I start to think of you again
Tick tock tick tock ticking
Tick tock tick tock ticking
Away
I took some changes with my life
But they kept me locked and beaten
In the cold outside
And I call you on the telephone
All my bills are paid
But there's no dial tone
Then I hear what I've waited for
And it makes me smile again
Think about the times I couldn't take no more
Then I hear your voice again

And it makes me smile again
Think about the times I couldn't stand no more
