Ruínas da Babilônia

See the suffering face of these people, So many suffering people
Seeking a decent life, Seeking a little peace in their lives
Mothers who suffer alone with their children
Poor and neglected
Parents who enslave themselves without even
The milk and bread of their own guaranteed
Better not to have someone to rely on, Than to rely on someone who only wants to take advantage
Of the good faith of those in need; If they give something, they aim for something more
They are only inspired by their own interests, Nothing, nothing, from the heart, they will have to give you
Elevate your thoughts to the Highest
It is necessary to have faith, it is necessary to know how to give time to time
Within yourself you will find
The strength contained in the firmament
And Jah will then provide for you, nothing, nothing that is needed will be lacking

On the other side I see the arrogance of these ignoble lords
Who hide their greed, all their indecency behind good looks
Well-cared-for lords of their wealth, lords of many favors
Of the easy advantages of power, lords of influence trafficking
They distribute jokes and friendly smiles at their dinners and pleasant meetings
Thus disguising their plots and venom
One day they will be exposed to the truth and will no longer be so kind
They will not be able to hide their rot and shame
They inherited the ruins of Babylon
Lords who are miserable, lords of so much wealth
They inherited the rubble of Babylon
Even the ground will flee from under their feet, their greatness will crumble with them
