Meu Nome É Favela
Arlindo Cruz
My Name Is Ghetto
I've always been like this
Total firmness and purity in the heart
I've always been like this
Loyal partner who never lets down
It's my way of being
Talking to everyone and going anywhere
And it's so normal to see me
Drinking beer wearing flip-flops at the bar
Can't avoid casual chat
When I go out to buy bread
Talking about soccer
And what's new on TV
Born suburban with great pride
I show in my smile our suburban vibe
I like to hang out and play some soccer
Sunny Sunday
And make a little barbecue with the line stretched
On the pole
Using glass-coated string
Singing samba on the hill, on the pavement
Without discrimination
My name is ghetto
It's from the people, from the hood my root
Alleys and lanes
I enchant and sing a happy story
Of true humility
Simple folks first-rate
