Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Eu posso querer a sorte,

I can desire luck,

Ver a cor, ter um norte,

See the color, have a direction,

Algum lugar pra alcançar…

Some place to reach...

Eu quero ver tudo azul,

I want to see everything blue,

No céu, correr pro Sul,

In the sky, run to the South,

Pro seu, pro nosso cantar.

To yours, to our singing.

Quero um sorriso com dentes

I want a smile with teeth

Na cara da minha gente.

On the faces of my people.

Quero ouvir nossa voz.

I want to hear our voice.

Eu tenho espada e escudo,

I have a sword and shield,

Canto e não vou ficar mudo,

I sing and I won't stay silent,

Eu quero tudo pra nós.

I want everything for us.

Já construiram barreiras,

They've already built barriers,

Bateram nossas carteiras,

Stolen our wallets,

Sequestraram mil sonhos,

Abducted a thousand dreams.

Já nos cercaram de muro,

They've surrounded us with walls,

Viramos filhos do escuro

We've become children of the dark,

Fazendo filhos tristonhos.

Creating sad children.

Eles brincaram de guerra,

They played at war,

Dividiram a terra,

Divided the land,

Sabotaram meus planos de paz.

Sabotaged my plans for peace.

Antes que o fim nos alcance,

Before the end reaches us,

Por que não dar uma chance,

Why not give a chance,

E aprender com os enganos rapaz.

And learn from mistakes, lad.

Porque negar o fogo desse seu olhar?

Why deny the fire of your gaze?
