Um épico memorável,a opulência dos versos, a cadência, a rima, o personagem alternando berros e susurros, recriam em minha imaginação cada detalhe e um pouco mais, definitivamente um clássico que marcou minha infância. Essa interpretação- apesar de ser o tema do vilão, é simplesmente perfeita e me arrepia até hoje.
Be Prepared
I know that your powers
of retention are as
wet as a warthog's backside
But thick as you are, pay attention
My words are a matter of pride
It's clear from your
vacant expressions
The lights are not all on
upstairs
But we're talking
kings and successions
Even you can't be caught
unawares
So prepare for a chance
of a lifetime
Be prepared for sensational news
A shining new era
Is tiptoeing nearer
Shenzi:
And where do we feature?
Scar:
Just listen to teacher
I know it sounds sordid
But you'll be rewarded
When at last I am given my dues!
And injustice deliciously squared
Be prepared!
Hyena:
Be prepared for what?
Scar:
For the king's death!
Hyena:
Why? Is he sick?
Scar:
No, you fool, we're going
to kill him... and Simba too!
Hyena:
Great idea! Who needs a king?
Hyenas:
No king, No king, nah nah
nah nah nah nah!
Scar:
Idiots! There will BE a king!
Hyena:
But you just said...
Scar:
I'm gonna be king
Stick with me, and you'll
never be hungry again!
Hyenas:
YEA!!!!!! Long live the king!
It's great that we'll soon
be connected
With a king who'll be
all-time adored
Scar:
Of course, quid pro quo,
you're expected
To take certain duties on board
The future is littered with prizes
And though I'm the main addressee
The point that I must emphasize is
You won't get a sniff without me
So prepare for the coup of
the century
Be prepared for the
murkiest scam
Ooooh!
Meticulous planning
We'll have food!
Tenacity spanning
Lots of food
Decades of denial
We repeat
Is simply why I'll
Endless meat
Be king undisputed
Aaaaaaaaaah!
Respected, saluted
Aaaaaaaaaah!
And seen for the wonder I am
Aaaaaaaaaah!
Yes my teeth and ambitions
are bared
Be prepared!
Hyenas:
Yes, our teeth and
ambitions are bared
Be prepared!
Scar: Hienas vulgares e infames, carentes de toda a virtude, mas guiadas por meu talento e engenho, hãm, meu reino chegará a sua plenitude!
Scar: eu sei que sua inteligência, nunca foi nem será
Generosa
Scar: mas prestem atenção com paciência, nas minhas
Palavras preciosas
Scar: quem presta atenção se concentra, pois quero que
Fiquem cientes
Que quando um rei sai outro entra, e é razão para
Ficarem contentes
Scar: se preparem par ter nova vida, uma vida
Sensacional
Chegou nova era, a velha já era
Hienas: e a gente, aonde fica?
Scar: já tudo se explica
Scar: por sua presença
Terão recompensa
Quando eu ocupar o meu trono
Scar: injustiças farei com que parem
Coro: se preparem!
Hienas:É preparados vamos estar! Pra quê?
Scar:Para a morte do rei!
Hienas:Porquê? Ele está doente?
Scar:Não bobo, iremos matá-lo! E Simba também!
Hienas:Grande idéia, quem quer um rei!
Hienas:Morram os reis! Lá, lá, lá, lá, lá, lá!
Scar:Idiotas, haverá um rei!
Hienas:Ué, mas você disse...
Scar:Eu serei Rei! Fiquem comigo, e jamais sentirão fome outra vez!
Hienas: Êêêê, Viva, vida longa ao rei!
Coro: o rei é um bom camarada
E o povo vai logo adorar
Scar: vocês que serão mais amados
Farão tudo que eu tramar
Scar: vou distribuir prêmios caros
Pra amigos que estejam afim
Scar: mas quero deixar muito claro
Não vão comer nada sem mim!
Scar: se preparem para o golpe do século
Scar: se preparem para a trama sombria
Scar: bem premeditada
E bem calculada
Scar: e um rei rejeitado
Será coroado
Por isso eu disputo
E por isso eu luto
Scar: o trono terá que ser meu!
Scar: que os amigos não me desamparem
Coro: se preparem!
Scar: que os amigos não me desamparem
Coro: se preparem!
"Be Prepared" is a song from the 1994 Disney film and 1997 Broadway musical The Lion King. The song was composed by Tim Rice (lyrics) and Elton John (music) and originally performed by Jeremy Irons, Cheech Marin, Jim Cummings, and Whoopi Goldberg in the film and by John Vickery, Kevin Cahoon, Stanley Wayne Mathis and Tracy Nicole in the original Broadway cast for the musical.
The song continued what had become a Disney tradition in their newer movies at that time, where the villain had his or her own song in the movie.
The song gradually intensifies throughout, from Scar's comparatively tame first verse to the louder and more complex final section, in which the hyenas sing in counterpoint to Scar. Set in a geothermically unstable area, the song features stylized earthquakes and geysers throughout.
In the beginning of the second verse, an army of hyenas is shown goose-stepping in front of Scar, who is perched on an overlooking cliff. This is modeled after footage from the Nazi propaganda/documentary Triumph of the Will.
Jeremy Irons, the voice of Scar, sings the bulk of the song, but from the line "You won't get a sniff without me" when Irons blew out his Vocal Cords and Jim Cummings, who voices Ed the hyena finished the Song.
