Emerson Fittipaldi immortalized on vinyl

[1987Carzan]

I ran across this during a deep dive into some Tropicalia/ZamRock jams, it's a 45 released in 1973 celebrating Emmo's '72 championship. Enjoy with a nice bottle of OJ.

PS here are the lyrics, translated from the original Portuguese:

Lotus, Lotus, Lotus, 72, yeah!
It's the time machine and in speed it has no equal.
And in a big international tournament Formula one Our Brazilian was invited to participate.
As champion, world champion In our sports square, in Interlagos In our capital São Paulo, land of drizzle.
With an amazing 38 degree heat Attention! Attention! The main start was given.
Our Emerson at the front Reaching the maximum speed your car has In the orange curve he stopped to take a vitamin.
At the S curve who didn't know how to write went wrong, left the track At the elbow curve he did wonderfully well.
At the corner of the sergeant he commanded the contestants.
As general And the amazed crowd watching the race He was proud and thrilled with the victory of our champion.
The finish line is coming, the final stretch Our Emerson at the front has been emerging.
And everyone shouted with great emotion: "Save Emerson, 73!" Save Emerson, 73
