Pátria Que Me Pariu

A prostitute, named Brazil forgot
To take the pill, and her belly grew
A baby was not in the plans
Of this poor seventeen-year-old harlot
An abortion was a fortune and she, with no money
Had to try to do a homemade abortion
Took medicine, drank cachaça, took a purgative
But the pregnancy was more and more evident
That child was worse than a worm
And she asked a beggar to punch her belly
And with every kick she received, the boy fought back from inside
Learned to be a violent fetus
A strong fetus, escaped death
It's not known if it was bad luck or good luck
But nine months later he was found, hungry and cold
Abandoned in a vacant lot

Motherland that gave birth to me!
Who was the motherland that gave birth to me!?

The child looks like the parents, but has no father or mother
So what does the child look like?
The face of forgiveness or revenge?
Is it the face of despair or hope?
In a better future, a job, a home
Red light, no time to dream
Selling candy, gum
Don't roll up the window, I'm not a kid!
I won't turn into a thief if you give me milk, bread
A video game and a TV
A soccer cleat and a Flamengo shirt
To play for the national team, like Ronaldinho
I'll go to the World Cup, I'll go to Europe
Poor thing!
Wake up kid! You have no future!
Your team has nothing to lose, and the game is tough! You have no defense, so attack!
To not leave on a stretcher!
Enough of acting like a fool!
I can't take punching a wall anymore
And all I have is a knife in my hand
Now I want the cheese. Where is it?
I'm tired of getting beaten. It's time to fight!

Motherland that gave birth to me!
Who was the motherland that gave birth to me!?

Show your face, kid! Should be in school
But sniffing glue, smoking a joint
Selling drugs and crack
Never plays soccer, but always on the offensive
Gun in hand, good kid
Better run because here comes the police van
It's kill or be killed! It's four against one!
I surrender! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Black-faced ox, catch that child with a shotgun shot
12-gauge in Brazil's face
Age 14, marital status: Dead
It took a while, but your gentle motherland managed to perform the abortion

Motherland that gave birth to me
Who was the motherland that gave birth to me?
