Vila Isabel

I'm from the North Zone
Our motto is independence or death
Hey, Chase your principles now
Stand up to your sound pressure
Don't let them back you into a corner
Show that you thirst for change

(Vila Isabel) Those from the village don't hesitate
(Vila Isabel) Cradle of popular music
(Vila Isabel) Hill and asphalt
(Vila Isabel) Only Jah Jah knows (2x)

There, the loudest voice is on the poor side, in the North Zone
I just need to know that we don't depend on them
That I can do my own work

Even if they pay me
Even if they pay me the highest note
I won't sell myself, I won't surrender
I'll follow the path of the one who made me
I'll follow my ancestors
Parents of my parents
Parents of the parents of my parents

(Vila Isabel) Those from the village don't hesitate
(Vila Isabel) Cradle of popular music
(Vila Isabel) Hill and asphalt
(Vila Isabel) Only Jah Jah knows (2x)

Bel, bel, bel bel, bel, bel, bel, bel

Here I have to keep an eye on this or that
Because I tell you, friend, activity is not a joke
They still want to imitate my style
Strong-arm style amidst uniformed, suited bandits
They still want to take everything I have
They still want to steal my talent
They won't succeed, they won't succeed

(Vila Isabel) Those from the village don't hesitate
(Vila Isabel) Cradle of popular music
(Vila Isabel) Hill and asphalt
(Vila Isabel) Only Jah Jah knows (2x)
