Gente

People look at the sky, people want to know the one
People is the place to ask the one
If the stars wonder if there are so many
Each star is amazed by its own explosion

People are very good, people must be good
Must respect, must take care of the good
It's right to say that stars are in the eyes
Of someone whom love has chosen to love

Marina, Bethânia
Renata, Dolores
Suzana, Leilinha, Dedé
Living people, shining, stars in the night

People want to eat, people want to be happy
People want to breathe air through the nose
No, my dear, never betray that strength, no
That strength that lives in your heart

People washing clothes, kneading bread
Poor people taking life with their hands
In the heart of the forest, people want to go on
Want to last, want to grow, people want to shine

Rodrigo, Roberto, Caetano
Moreno, Francisco, Gilberto, João
People are meant to shine
Not to die of hunger

People of this planet with the blue sky
People, I don't understand, people, saw nothing in us
People mirror of stars, reflection of splendor
If the stars are so many, only love

Maurício, Lucila, Gildásio
Ivonete, Agripino, Gracinha, Zezé
People mirror of life, sweet mystery
People mirror of life, sweet mystery
People mirror of life, sweet mystery

Life, sweet mystery
Life, sweet mystery
Life, sweet mystery
Life, sweet mystery
Life, sweet mystery
