Lyrics and translation Moacyr Franco - República Federativa do Bandido




República Federativa do Bandido
Federative Republic of the Bandit
Tenta adivinhar de onde eu venho
Try to guess where I'm from
Que país maravilhoso que eu tenho
What a wonderful country I have
Onde se resolve tudo na bala
Where everything is solved with a bullet
E o tesouro nacional na mala
And the national treasure is in the suitcase
Onde o governo ensina a preguiça
Where the government teaches laziness
Onde ser ladrão agora é premissa
Where being a thief is now a premise
República federativa do bandido
Federative Republic of the Bandit
República federativa do bandido
Federative Republic of the Bandit
República federativa do bandido
Federative Republic of the Bandit
República federativa do bandido
Federative Republic of the Bandit
O rio é para carregar o lixo
The river is only for carrying garbage
Melhor seria a gente ser mais um bicho
It would be better if we were just another beast
Meu anjo andando em carro blindado
My angel is driving in an armored car
O medo é quem governa o povo, de fato
Fear is what governs the people, in fact
Ladrão famoso em minha terra tem grife
Famous thief in my land has a brand
Criança de quatorze anos tem rifle
Fourteen-year-old child has a rifle
Rifle, rifle, porra
Rifle, rifle, damn it
República federativa do bandido
Federative Republic of the Bandit
República federativa do bandido
Federative Republic of the Bandit
República federativa do bandido
Federative Republic of the Bandit
República federativa do bandido
Federative Republic of the Bandit
Onde tinha carnaval, serpentina
Where there was carnival, serpentine
Agora é confete, piru, cocaína
Now it's confetti, piru, cocaine
Moleque bate em professor todo dia
Kid beats up teacher every day
E roubar é nossa filosofia
And stealing is our philosophy
Justiça não vou comentar, deixa quieto
I'm not going to comment on justice, let it be
Polícia morre pelo chão como inseto
Police die on the floor like insects
República federativa do bandido
Federative Republic of the Bandit
República federativa do bandido
Federative Republic of the Bandit
República federativa do bandido
Federative Republic of the Bandit
República federativa do bandido
Federative Republic of the Bandit
República federativa do bandido
Federative Republic of the Bandit
República federativa do bandido
Federative Republic of the Bandit
República federativa do bandido
Federative Republic of the Bandit
República federativa do bandido
Federative Republic of the Bandit
Esse nosso povo sofrido, humilde
These people of ours, long-suffering, humble
Sabe muito bem diferenciar joio do trigo
Knows very well how to differentiate the wheat from the chaff
E na hora certa, vai votar em massa no joio
And when the time comes, they will vote en masse for the chaff
Para dar continuidade à nossa obra
To give continuity to our work
Até logo, irmãos
See you later, brothers
(Bandido unido, jamais será vencido)
(A bandit united will never be defeated)
