Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

A terra se quebrando toda

The earth breaking apart

A fome que humilha a todos

The hunger that humiliates everyone

Vida se alimenta de dor

Life feeds on pain

Que pobre povo sem socorro

What a poor people without help

Por que será que Deus pôs ali

Why did God place there

O ser pra ser assim sofredor?

The being to be such a sufferer?

Sob a brasa do sol padecer

Under the embers of the suffering sun

Do desdém do poder fingido

From the disdain of feigned power

Sem saber o que é ser feliz

Without knowing what it is to be happy

Viver, como se diz, dá medo

To live, as they say, is scary

Apesar de se ter céu azul

Despite having a blue sky

O mesmo lá do sul, mesmo Deus

The same one from the south, the same God
