    Etymology

    [edit]

      Inherited from Old Galician-Portuguese caralho. Further etymology is uncertain, but the most plausible source on the basis of both semantics and historical phonology appears to be unattested Vulgar Latin *characulum, which would have been a Latinized diminutive of Ancient Greek χάραξ (khárax, stick). Doublet of carago.

      Certain cognates include Spanish carajo, Galician carallo and Catalan carall. Attempts to attribute Italian same-meaning cazzo to the same etymon fail on phonological grounds, as the /r/ of carajo (or its absence in cazzo) remains unexplained, and no Latin phonological sequence develops as both /x/ in Spanish and /tts/ in Italian.

          Sinta-se bem
          Não seja escravo de um espelho
          Em um mundo de vaidades
          Quem decide o que é feio?
          Importante perceber
          E também se aceitar
          Ninguém é igual a ninguém
          Sempre válido lembrar que
          Padrão é o caralho
          Feel good about yourself
          Don't be a slave to a mirror
          In a world of vanity
          Who decides what's ugly?
          Important to realize
          And also to accept
          No one is equal to anyone
          Always valid to remember that
          The norm is bullshit
