Dor de Verdade

This beat right here, oh!
You can rap about anything
About rap, samba, the past, the future
About love or even about evil,
But here we're gonna talk about longing.
I said we're gonna because I'm not alone
I've got Arlindo Cruz and Zeca Pagodinho with me.

You see the wickedness
That longing has done to me
It punished me with loneliness,
Made me cry.
It knows very well
That without love I'm in danger
That's why I tell you:
Longing is really cruel.

Longing! Longing!
Today I can say what true pain is! (2x)

Longing has no mercy,
No pity or compassion,
It doesn't forgive, only condemns,
Longing is a prison.
Longing is a plague
That shows on your face.
Pain passes, sorrows fade,
But longing never goes away.

Longing! Longing!
Today I can say what true pain is! (2x)

It's that God made the head
On top of the heart
So that feelings don't overpower reason
Longing is indeed
The saddest pain in this world,
It hurts in the calm heart,
In the wandering heart.

Longing! Longing!
Today I can say what true pain is! (2x)

Were you missing me?
I’m back again
Mixing rap with samba
Just a little more
And I’ll be ready for whatever comes my way.
It hurts in the sly heart,
In the heart of a fool.
From the time D2 played in Andaraí
Longing for what I lived,
Longing for what I never saw.
Who hasn’t felt alone?
It doesn’t matter the age.
Whoever has felt can say
What true pain is.
There’s no mercy, no pity or compassion.
Only condemns longing.
It’s an illusion from the verses of Arlindo and Zeca.
I’m longing,
The more time passes, the more camaraderie.

Longing! Longing!
Today I can say what true pain is! (2x)
