Novo Tempo
Ivan Lins
New Time
In the new time
Despite the punishments
We are grown up
We are attentive
We are more alive
To help us
To help us
To help us
In the new time
Despite the dangers
Of brute force
Of the frightening night
We are in the fight
To survive
To survive
To survive
So that our hope
Is more than revenge
Is always a path
That is passed down as a legacy
In the new time
Despite the punishments
Of all fatigue
Of all injustice
We are in the struggle
To help us
To help us
To help us
In the new time
Despite the dangers
Of all sins
Of all mistakes
We are marked
To survive
To survive
To survive
So that our hope
Is more than revenge
Is always a path
That is passed down as a legacy
In the new time
Despite the punishments
We are on stage
We are on the street
Breaking the chains
To help us
To help us
To help us
In the new time
Despite the dangers
We meet
Singing in the square
Being mischievous
To survive
To survive
To survive
