Menino do Bairro Negro

José Afonso José Afonso

Boy from the Black Neighborhood

Look at the sun rising
Come see the sea
The boys are running
To see the sun arrive

Boy without means
Brother of all the naked
Take your eyes off the ground
Come see the light

Boy in ragged clothes
A new day is coming
Only those who know how to sing
Will also make it

Black, black neighborhood
Black neighborhood
Where there is no bread
There is no peace

Poor boy, your home
Whether you like it or not
Will one day sing
This song

Look at the sun rising
Come see the sea
The boys are running
To see the sun arrive

If it's even enjoyable to sing
If all the earth smiles
Who wouldn't love you
Boy, to you

If it's not fury, it's reason
If everyone wants
One day you will learn
No matter what happens

Black, black neighborhood
Black neighborhood
Where there is no bread
There is no peace

Poor boy, your home
Whether you like it or not
Will one day sing
