Direitos e Deveres
Silvio Brito
Rights and Duties
May peace be with you
With me and with everyone
May all have shelter
Friends and a fertile ground
May men take care of the earth
Of plants and animals
May parents educate their children
May children honor their parents
May all families unite
And fight for their ideals
May all friends come together
And always be loyal
May lovers keep alive
The flame, the passion, and the warmth
May I satisfy your desires
With my kisses full of love
May the priests and pastors of the church
Bless everyone, amen
May the faithful practice good
No matter who
May teachers teach
Kindness and wisdom
And may students learn
Respect and citizenship
May judges uphold the laws
Of justice in the light of truth
May lawyers defend
Honor and dignity
May the elderly maintain vigor
The young, meekness
Men, strength and tenderness
Women, courage and seduction
May children grow up healthy
And free from any danger
May I be the expression of what I feel
Of what I think, say, and follow
May artists make us feel
The good and the beauty of life
May the press actually publish
The reality of life
May the police protect the honest
And put the criminals behind bars
May doctors attend to the sick
Regardless of money
May politicians keep their promises
And do the will of the people
May the people be at peace
And God bless everyone
May God bless everyone
