- "Brasis", in portuguese, is the plural of the word Brazil . Brazis means more than one "Brazil" and Seu Jorge describes the various "Brazils" in the lyric of music . The good things and the bad ones. Things that give pride to the Brazilian people and so many others that shame us. And by the simple fact that the things we have ashamed are winning the fight against the things that make us full of pride, that they began street demonstrations, demanding from the country's rulers that the balance can tip to the things that give pride.
