Balada do Lado Sem Luz
Maria Bethânia
Ballad of the Dark Side
The world of shadows, hidden cave
Where the light of life was almost extinguished
The world of shadows, region of darkness
Of the tough heart, of the shaken soul, shaken
Today I sing the ballad of the dark side
Cold underground of eternal waiting
For love, for bread, for liberation
For peace, for air, for the sea
To sail, to discover another day, another sun
Today I sing the ballad of the dark side
To those who were not allowed to live happily and sing like me
Listen to the one who lives on the dark side
My song is the confirmation of the promise that says
That there will be hope as long as there is a happier song
How I love to sing
How I prefer to sing
How I usually sing
How I love to sing
When not so much the ballad, the ballad, the ballad
Of the dark side
