Paroles et traduction Itamar Assumpcao - Pretobrás

Pretobrás

Quando acordei, tava aqui (aonde?)
Entre São Paulo e o mangue
Brasil via MTV
Num clip de bang bang

Nem bem cheguei, me feri (como?)
Foi bala na cidade grande
Compondo sobrevivi
E cantar estancou o meu sangue (cantar estancou)

Cantar estancou meu sangue
Cantar estancou
Cantar estancou meu sangue

Nasci moleque saci
Daí que eu nunca me entregue
Mando um recado pra ti (pra ti, pra ti)
Certeza que a noite chegue

Assim que te conheci (assim que te conheci)
Ardi no fogo da febre (ardi no fogo da febre)
Deus sabe o quanto sofri (Deus sabe o quanto sofri)
O resto, o cão que carregue (o resto, o cão que carregue)

Um belo dia, parti (parti, parti)
Cumbica, Deutschland
Na volta, num duty free (duty free)
Comprei um bom bumerangue (na volta, num duty free)

Sou pretobrás, e daí? (e daí?)
Sou pretobrás, e daí?
Eu rezo cantando reggae
Sou Cruz e Sousa Zumbi, Paulo Leminski (Ave Maria, cheia de graça)

Mas samba is another bag (samba is another bag)
Samba is another bag (samba is another bag)
Samba is another bag (samba is another bag)

E cantar estancou meu sangue
Cantar estancou, cantar estancou meu sangue
Cantar estancou, cantar estancou meu sangue
Cantar estancou e cantar estancou meu sangue
Cantar estancou...

Pretobrás

When I woke up, I was here (where?)
Between São Paulo and the mangrove
Brazil via MTV
In a shoot 'em up video

No sooner had I arrived, I got hurt (how?)
It was a bullet in the big city
By composing I survived
And singing stopped my bleeding (singing stopped)

Singing stopped my bleeding
Singing stopped
Singing stopped my bleeding

I was born a mischievous imp
That's why I never gave up
I send you a message (to you, to you)
Sure that the night will come

As soon as I met you (as soon as I met you)
I burned with the fire of fever (I burned with the fire of fever)
God knows how much I suffered (God knows how much I suffered)
The rest, let the devil take it (the rest, let the devil take it)

One fine day, I left (left, left)
Cumbica, Deutschland
On the way back, in a duty free (duty free)
I bought a good boomerang (on the way back, in a duty free)

I'm Pretobrás, so what? (so what?)
I'm Pretobrás, so what?
I pray by singing reggae
I'm Cruz e Sousa Zumbi, Paulo Leminski (Hail Mary, full of grace)

But samba is another bag (samba is another bag)
Samba is another bag (samba is another bag)
Samba is another bag (samba is another bag)

And singing stopped my bleeding
Singing stopped, singing stopped my bleeding
Singing stopped, singing stopped my bleeding
Singing stopped, and singing stopped my bleeding
Singing stopped...
