Rap do Silva

Everyone should pay attention to this story
Because there are many friends who go to the dance
Forget the conflicts, leave the fight behind
And understand the meaning when the DJ rocks the house
(And this is a tribute to all the Silvas in Brazil)

He was just another Silva whose star doesn't shine
He was a funk singer, but he was a family man
He was just another Silva whose star doesn't shine
He was a funk singer, but he was a family man

It was a sunny Sunday, he left in the morning
To play his soccer, gave a rose to his sister
Gave the children kisses, promised not to be late
Told his wife he would come back for lunch

But he was just another Silva whose star doesn't shine
He was a funk singer, but he was a family man
He was just another Silva whose star doesn't shine
He was a funk singer, but he was a family man

He was a hard worker, took the crowded train
Had good neighbors, was well-regarded
And everyone said he was a cool guy
Others criticized him because he was a funk singer
Funk is not a trend, it's a necessity
It's to silence the moans that exist in this city

Everyone should pay attention to this story
Because there are many friends who go to the dance
Forget the conflicts, leave the fight behind
And understand the meaning when the DJ rocks the house

And he was just another Silva whose star doesn't shine
He was a funk singer, but he was a family man
He was just another Silva whose star doesn't shine
He was a funk singer, but he was a family man

As night fell, he got ready
To enjoy his dance where the music flowed in his veins
He wore his best shirt, the sneakers he bought, sweating
And well before the time, he was already dressed
He met up with the gang, got on the crowded bus
His eyes sparkled, he was excited
His joy was so great when he saw he had arrived
He was the first to get off and was greeted by some

But on that sad corner, a guy appeared
With a stern face, sweating, it was dark
He carried a gun in one of his hands
He pulled the trigger, without any explanation
And our poor friend, who went to the dance to have fun
Today, with his family, he won't sleep

Because he was just another Silva whose star doesn't shine
He was a funk singer, but he was a family man
He was just another Silva whose star doesn't shine
He was a funk singer, but he was a family man
He was just another Silva whose star doesn't shine
He was a funk singer, but he was a family man
Just another Silva whose star doesn't shine
He was a funk singer, but he was a family man

He was just another Silva
