Favela

For the favelas from all corners of Brazil
Politics at night, mysterious in the silence
Smiles during the day and cries at dawn
Its heart like a passionate woman
Welcomes without looking at who is who on the journey
Brotherly mission somewhat ungrateful
Blesses as one is born, suffers when someone comes and kills
The serenade is for you with a woman's name
Lady of the night who smells roses and shows faith
Axé my enlightened warrior
I see your eyes shining in the silver moon
Love and hate and a lot of life without guilt of anything

Favela oh
Favela that saw me born
I open my chest and sing love for you
Love and hate and a lot of life without guilt of anything

Favela oh (and respect for her)
Favela that saw me born
Only those who know you from the inside can understand you
(and respect for her)
Favela oh
Favela that saw me born
I open my chest and sing love for you
(it's the favela style)
Favela oh
Favela that saw me born
Only those who know you from the inside can understand you
(let's wake up, let's wake up)

The people who climb the hill help in the collective work
Share the leftovers from the market and divide the bread, divide the bread
How can these good people be seen as criminals
I think society is seeing it wrong
My favela
Favela oh
Favela that saw me born
I open my chest and sing love for you
(it's part of her)
Favela oh
Favela that saw me born
Only those who know you from the inside can understand you
(it's beautiful but it's fierce)

I understand this complex world
Favela is my root
Directionless, clueless, senseless and still happy
Not always human evil is in those who carry a rifle
There are people in suits killing Brazil
My favela

Favela oh
Favela that saw me born
I open my chest and sing love for you
(let's wake up!)
Favela oh
Favela that saw me born
Only those who know you from the inside can understand you
(head held high, sincere look!)

I understand this complex world
Favela is my root
Directionless, clueless, senseless and still happy, very happy
Not always human evil is in those who carry a rifle
There are people in suits killing Brazil
My favela

In the favela, humility made its home
In the favela, only those who are walk at dawn
In the favela, to live you must have integrity
To not die in the alleys and lanes
You have to be street smart to stay in good standing
Because a brave warrior always suffers
You can't get involved or snitch on the steam
Salute the people of the favelas, the fighters, got it?
In a hot, hot climate
