Calamidade Publica
Edson Gomes
Public Calamity
I was born at the end of the world
I live at the end of the world
Here in this end of the world
I live like a condemned man
Because nothing was left for me
When the houses collapse
I feel too sad
Because in the midst of the rubble
I could well, I could be
My family, my friends
My family was there
Every year this happens
It's always the same rush
Every year the hypocrisy
Is part of this agony
Demagogues, opportunists
See the victims
Of all the inoperance
Of brutal greed
When the rain falls
It's one more sacrifice
We no longer live in peace
And when this rain falls
Everything gets worse here and we stay like this
Begging for mercy, facing risks
Everything is dangerous
Facing risks, death beats harder
We want help, but there's no help
We're not to blame for being so poor
It's a public calamity
We want help!
I live at the end of the world
I live in this end of the world
I crawl here at the end of the world
And I feel a deep disgust
And much more
My family, my friends
Now they are buried, they were there
Rain, here it comes
Rain, here it comes and it comes mercilessly
Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes...
I live at the end of the world
I live in this end of the world
I crawl here at the end of the world
And I feel a deep disgust
And much more
My family, my friends
My family was there
Rain, here it comes
Rain, here it comes and it comes mercilessly
Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes...
Rain, here it comes
Rain, here it comes and it comes mercilessly
Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes...
