Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Paro em cada esquina e vejo um rosto resmungando

Stop at every corner and see a face grumbling

Os carros buzinando sem poder voar

The cars honking, unable to fly

Alguém vacila como eu

Someone hesitates like me

O guarda percebeu e pede pra esperar

The guard noticed and asks to wait

A fumaça mancha meu pulmão

The smoke stains my lung

Não é só na contra mão em que o perigo está

It's not only in the opposite direction that danger lies

Do outro lado da avenida

On the other side of the avenue

É tão difícil chegar

It's so difficult to reach


E o sinal fechado e a máquina distraída

And the red light and the distracted machine

Vai matando gente e aumentando a ferida

It's killing people and increasing the wound

E o tempo passa e a sirene corre

And time passes and the siren runs

O hospital se fecha e meu vizinho morre

The hospital closes, and my neighbor dies

O jornal publica e a coisa se complica

The newspaper publishes, and things get complicated

Pois é, quem mandou o jornal publicar?

Well, who told the newspaper to publish?


E o sinal aberto e o jornal fechado

And the green light and the closed newspaper

Meu vizinho morto e o doutor mal pago

My neighbor dead and the doctor poorly paid

E a sirene grita num tom de protesto

And the siren screams in a protest tone

E a máquina vai acabando com o resto

And the machine is finishing off the rest

E a notícia passa, o povo se queixa

And the news passes, people complain

E o hospital se abre da cara dos besta

And the hospital opens its doors to fools


E o sinal fechado e a máquina distraída

And the red light and the distracted machine

Vai matando gente e aumentando a ferida

It's killing people and increasing the wound

E o tempo passa e a sirene corre

And time passes and the siren runs

O hospital se fecha e meu vizinho morre

The hospital closes, and my neighbor dies

O jornal publica e a coisa se complica

The newspaper publishes, and things get complicated

Pois é, quem mandou o jornal publicar?

Well, who told the newspaper to publish?
