Axé - irá chegar
Paulo Roberto
Axé - will come
A new day will come
A new sky, a new land
A new sea
And on that day, the oppressed
With one voice, freedom, will sing
In the new land the black won't have chains
And our indigenous will be seen as people
In the new land the black, the indigenous, and the mixed-race
The white and all will eat from the same plate
In the new land the weak, the poor, and the unjust
Will be judges of this sinful world
In the new land the strong, the big, and the arrogant
Will cry until they grind their teeth
In the new land women will have rights
Won't suffer humiliations and prejudices
Their work will be valued by all
They will participate in decisions
In the new land all peoples united
With their culture and rights respected, will
Make life a beautiful dawn
With equality in the right to live
