Brasil Multicolor - Ao Vivo - Viegastranslation in English




Brasil Multicolor - Ao Vivo
Brasil Multicolor - Live
Meu Brasil multicolor
My multicolored Brazil
Povo que sofre e ainda assim trabalhador
People who suffer and yet are still hardworking
No dia a dia perfeito jogador
Perfect players in their daily lives
Malícia na vida, ta cansado de sentir dor.
Malice in life, tired of feeling pain.
Perito na arte de ser enganado e sofrer
Expert in the art of being deceived and suffering
500 anos invadem e nada de resolver
500 years of invasions and nothing is solved
Levaram riquezas e me deram espelhos
They took our riches and gave us mirrors
Estupraram a cultura e nos deixaram ao relento
Raped our culture and left us exposed
Catequizaram, ensinaram, mas não me perguntaram
They catechized, they taught, but they didn't ask me
Se fazia falta o respeito que tiraram
If they missed the respect they took away
A plantação, a caça, nossa língua foi tirada
The plantation, the hunting, our language was taken
Agora falta pouco pra que não falte nada
Now there is little left for nothing to be lacking
Tupinambá, Tupiniquim e guajajara
Tupinambá, Tupiniquim, and Guajajara
Pataxó, xavante e tabajara
Pataxó, Xavante and Tabajara
Quantos você conhece?
How many do you know?
Quanta informação aniquilada
How much information has been annihilated
Assim como a capoeira descriminalizada
Just like capoeira, which was decriminalized
Afro cultura no Brasil foi importada
Afro culture in Brazil was imported
Batuques, costumes, suingue e a batida
Drums, customs, swing, and the beat
Misturamos com dança e a policia oprimia
We mixed it with dance and the police oppressed us
Perdidos entre costumes dos quais não conhecia
Lost among customs I didn't know
Berimbau, atabaque, pernadas e nossa ginga
Berimbau, atabaque, kicks, and our ginga
Seguia como crime, ninguém desistia
It continued as a crime, but no one gave up
Respeite a cultura, faz parte da vida então...
Respect the culture, it's part of life then...
Meu Brasil multicolor
My multicolored Brazil
Povo que sofre e ainda assim trabalhador
People who suffer and yet are still hardworking
No dia a dia perfeito jogador
Perfect players in their daily lives
Malícia na vida, ta cansado de sentir dor.
Malice in life, tired of feeling pain.
