Текст и перевод песни Papas da Língua - Democracy

Democracy

Foi ali bem no meio do capão
Se embalava a nativa no colo
E descia da mata num cipó
Entre índios e brancos gritava
Uoh! oh! uoh! oh! uoh! oh!

Entre a cruz e a espada do Senhor
Viu Jesus que a cativa sangrava
E lhe deu de presente um berimbau
Pra cantar e espantar todo mal
Uoh! oh! uoh! oh! uoh! oh!

Muito ouro se achava por aqui
Mas no mundo é que ele brilhava
E quem vive na terra patropi
De pobreza e preguiça se cala
Uoh! oh! uoh! oh! uoh! oh!

Viva o sol, viva o lixo, viva a voz
Viva Macunaíma nosso herói
Desse culto à miséria eu já cansei
Canta a voz da mentira outra vez

Democracy, it's a hard way
Democracy, it's a hard way
Democracy, it's a hard way
Democracy, it's a hard way

Povo pacífico, povo oprimido, povo apolítico
Povo que canta, que males espanta
Povo que reza unido na fome
Nossa guerra não tem terremoto
Nosso voto é de felicidade
Viva o índio glorioso do Xingu
Viva o nosso anão gabiru

Democracy, it's a hard way
Democracy, it's a hard way
Democracy, it's a hard way
Democracy, it's a hard way

Muito ouro se achava por aqui
Mas no mundo é que ele brilhava
E quem vive na terra patropi
De pobreza e preguiça se cala
Uoh! oh! uoh! oh! uoh! oh!

Viva o sol, viva o lixo, viva a voz
Viva Macunaíma nosso herói
Desse culto à miséria eu já cansei
Canta a voz da mentira outra vez

Democracy, it's a hard way
Democracy, it's a hard way
Democracy, it's a hard way
Democracy, it's a hard way

Povo pacífico, povo oprimido, povo apolítico
Povo que canta, que males espanta
Povo que reza unido na fome
Nossa guerra não tem terremoto
Nosso voto é de felicidade
Viva o índio glorioso do Xingu
Viva o nosso anão gabiru

Democracy, it's a hard way
Democracy, it's a hard way
Democracy, it's a hard way
Democracy, it's a hard way, it's a hard way

Democracy, it's a hard way
Democracy, it's a hard way
Democracy, it's a hard way
Democracy, it's a hard way
Democracy, it's a hard way
Democracy, it's a hard way

Democracy

It was there, in the middle of the clearing
A native girl swung in a hammock
And came down from the forest on a vine
She shouted to the Indians and the whites
Uoh! oh! uoh! oh! uoh! oh!

Between the cross and the sword of the Lord
Jesus saw that the captive was bleeding
And gave her a berimbau as a gift
To sing and ward off all evil
Uoh! oh! uoh! oh! uoh! oh!

Much gold was found here
But it was in the world that it shone
And those who live in the patropi land
Are silent about poverty and laziness
Uoh! oh! uoh! oh! uoh! oh!

Long live the sun, long live the trash, long live the voice
Long live Macunaíma, our hero
I'm tired of this cult of misery
Sing the voice of lies again

Democracy, it's a hard way
Democracy, it's a hard way
Democracy, it's a hard way
Democracy, it's a hard way

Peaceful people, oppressed people, apolitical people
People who sing, who ward off evil
People who pray together in hunger
Our war is not an earthquake
Our vote is for happiness
Long live the glorious Indian of the Xingu
Long live our dwarf gabiru

Democracy, it's a hard way
Democracy, it's a hard way
Democracy, it's a hard way
Democracy, it's a hard way

Much gold was found here
But it was in the world that it shone
And those who live in the patropi land
Are silent about poverty and laziness
Uoh! oh! uoh! oh! uoh! oh!

Long live the sun, long live the trash, long live the voice
Long live Macunaíma, our hero
I'm tired of this cult of misery
Sing the voice of lies again

Democracy, it's a hard way
Democracy, it's a hard way, it's a hard way

Democracy, it's a hard way
Democracy, it's a hard way
Democracy, it's a hard way
Democracy, it's a hard way
