Cidade das Luzes

(Intro)

This sound is dedicated
to my dear friends
cayo pitizo pg (há)
carlos alexandre nego duus
gato congelado toorá
I know you will love it
let them shine

(Verse 1)

I look at this sea of lights
and I feel like in the stars
fireflies in schools
others seem trapped to me
some from your home
others with company names
the feared ones as usual
blink in red colors
and an infinity of poles
even set fire to the clouds
in a lighthouse!
for those who are outside even the city leads them
in the city they confuse them
it seems like they even respond!
during the day they hide
at night so many merge
it even makes me dream of living in front of Rocinha
and all year round I would have a Christmas tree just for me
to lose sight in the points and ignore the lines
it's not so difficult since it doesn't shine alone
and wherever the light shines,
the city shines abundantly
delineating the paths where life passes
witnessing the tapes, the games and the tricks,
the fights, the hatred, the cowards and their accomplices

(Chorus)

"The Milky Way are the lights of the city,
in each point a chance, dream and necessity,
and when the lights shine, my eyes shine,
they breathe, but you didn't see!"

"The Milky Way are the lights of the city,
in each point a chance, dream and necessity,
and when the lights shine, my eyes shine,
they breathe, but you didn't see!"

(Verse 2)

At the red light don't stop,
if it's green go ahead!
here we never know what another man has in mind, so
as soon as the signal opens, a beautiful shining green
the lights dance!
I swear, they look like a light painting
they enchant
the fascination doesn't tire no matter how hard they try
it's just me and the moths if it's the animals that feel
this galaxy
human copy of the Milky Way
where the stars extinguish almost magically
they beg
cry and ask to be portrayed
and they show off
signs, shop windows are so dramatic
they are stories
from afar I question disgrace or glory
when at 3 in the morning I see these points in the trajectory
that are visible from space, like those who try to compete
without asking, brother, you can't resist, I've given up!
so under the veil of darkness
but they won't rise to the sky
only in the motel
city imposes on our sky
to stay on the ground

(Chorus)

"The Milky Way are the lights of the city,
in each point a chance, dream and necessity,
and when the lights shine, my eyes shine,
they breathe, but you didn't see!"

"The Milky Way are the lights of the city,
in each point a chance, dream and necessity,
and when the lights shine, my eyes shine,
they breathe, but you didn't see!"

(Final)

The lights shine
my eyes shine
they breathe
(they breathe, breathe)
you didn't see?
(but you just didn't see)

The most beautiful thing in this world
every night
(they breathe, breathe, but you just didn't see)
(they breathe and shine, but you just didn't see)
you didn't see
they breathe
the lights shine
(they breathe and shine, but you just didn't see)

(Skit - Matrix Reloaded)

"I knew the rules,
knew what I had to do,
but I didn't
I couldn't
to stay compelled
to disobey
we are not here because we are free
we are here because we are not free"
