Menina da Favela

When I went to the hood she would come to look at me
And always found a way to talk to me
She said she heard my songs on the radio
And that my name never missed from her prayers

I who lived in the city singing in mansions
Now find myself drawn to the shacks
In that slum I found everything I wanted the most
The love that I dreamed of having one day close to heaven

Girl from the slum I am your singer
Now life is beautiful, I found my love
Girl from the slum the church is our end
May God protect us at the time of yes

A thousand songs I will make for you
Beautiful flowers I will also give you
We were so happy until death do us part
