Brasis

There's a Brazil that's thriving
Another that stays the same
A Brazil that invests
Another that drains
One in swim trunks
Another in a tie
One that makes love
And the other that kills

Brazil of gold, Brazil of silver
Brazil of the party with the mulata

There's a Brazil that's beautiful, another that stinks
The Brazil that gives is just like the one that asks
Asks for peace, health, work, and cash
Asks for the kids from all over the country, la-ra-ra-rá

There's a Brazil that punches
Another that takes hits
A Brazil that pulls out cash
Another that kicks
Loses, wins
Rises, falls
Fights hard, plays ball
But doesn’t go to school

Brazil of copper, Brazil of tin
It's black, it's white, it's Nisei
It's green, it's a naked Indian
It's mixed-race, it's a cafuzo, it's confusion

It's black, it's white, it's Nisei
It's green, it's a naked Indian
It's mixed-race, it's a cafuzo, it's confusion

Oh Pindorama, I want your safe harbor
Your palm trees, your markets, your coffee
Your riches, beaches, waterfalls
I want to see your people standing tall

Oh Pindorama, I want your safe harbor
Your palm trees, your markets, your coffee
Your riches, beaches, waterfalls
I want to see your people standing tall

And, oh Pindorama, I want your safe harbor
Your palm trees, your markets, your coffee
Your riches, beaches, waterfalls
I want to see your people standing tall

I want to see your people standing tall
I want to see your people, oh, standing tall
