Deixa o Menino Jogar

The value of a love cannot be bought
Where will be the source that hides life
Rising sunbeam sprouting the seed

Years go by without stopping
And we don't see a solution
We only see promises of a future
That is nothing but an illusion
And the hope of the people
Comes from the humility of their hearts
Who play their lives, their destiny
In the claws of hungry lions

Let the boy play oh iaiá
Let the boy play oh iaiá
Let the boy learn oh iaiá
That the health of the people here
Is the fear of the men there
The wisdom of the people here
Is the fear of the men there
The consciousness of the people here
Is the fear of the men there

The value of a love cannot be bought
Where will be the source that hides life
Rising sunbeam sprouting the seed
Sinhá tells me why the boy cried
When he arrived home and in a dark corner found
His princess and the boy, fruit of this love
Crying from hunger without knowing who enslaved him

Let the boy play oh iaiá
Let the boy play oh iaiá
Let the boy learn oh iaiá
That the health of the people here
Is the fear of the men there
The wisdom of the people here
Is the fear of the men there
The consciousness of the people here
Is the fear of the men there
