Cidadania

I'm a child
I'm a child
In such an unequal country
They took away the school lunch budget
Also from the hospital

Tyrannical politicians
Practice tyranny
Stop for a moment to think
What is citizenship

Citizenship is having quality education
So that when I grow up
I can go to college

Citizenship is not overcrowded hospitals
A SUS user
Suffers in silence

Who should I complain to
To the mayor or the police chief

Citizenship is not turning on the TV
Watching politicians in Brasilia
Stealing from you and me

Brazil of Brazilians
Such an unequal country
They diverted the money
From school lunches and hospitals

Hey, you
Hey, you
There's so much corruption
And you're there, satisfied

Citizenship, where are you
Please show up
Come visit me
Come with me
To take a walk
I'll show you the city
To see if you wake up

The citizen's right
Is not being respected
Not by the mayor
Much less by the state

Only remembers the citizen
Every 4 years
Taking away my smile
Is part of your plans

Brazil of Brazilians
Such an unequal country
They diverted the money
From school lunches and hospitals

My childhood smile
Is pure and true
You use my image
To make a lot of money

Citizenship, what a beautiful word!
Beautiful to say
Too bad many
Don't know how to use it

Mom and Dad
They are the citizens
They pay taxes
Every month
To feed
The corruption

Brazil, Brazil
Give me back my childhood
Fight corruption
Enough greed

I want to grow up
Full of hope
To play on the street
With my friends
Safely

They say I'm the future of the country
But the way things are
Will I be happy?
I want to see my teacher
With a judge's salary

Citizenship is not inequality
It's not taking crowded buses
Back and forth through the city

Brazil of Brazilians
Such an unequal country
They diverted the money
From school lunches and hospitals
