Текст и перевод песни Racionais MC's feat. DJ Cia - Quanto Vale o Show

Quanto Vale o Show

A primeira coisa que aprendi a fazer na minha vida foi isso aqui, ó
Rá, é isso
Só eu sei os desertos que cruzei até aqui
(Pode pá) Tá lançada a sorte

'83 era legal, sétima série, eu tinha 13 e pá e tal
Tudo era novo em um tempo brutal
O auge era o Natal, beijava a boca das minas
Nas favelas de cima tinha um som e um clima bom
O kit era o Faroait, o quente era o Patchouli
O pica era o Djavan, o hit era o Billie Jean
Do Rock ao Black as mais tops

Nos dias de mais sorte ouvia no Soul Pop
Moleque magro e fraco, invisível na esquina
Planejava a chacina na minha mente doente, hein
Sem pai, nem parente, nem, sozinho entre as feras
Os malandro que era na miséria fizeram mal
Meu primo resolve ter revólver
Em volta outras revoltas, envolve-se fácil
Era guerra com a favela de baixo
Sem livro e nem lápis e o Brasil em colapso

Quanto vale? (Quanto vale o show? Quanto vale o show?)
(Quanto vale?) Quanto vale? (O show, quanto vale?)
(Quanto vale o show? Quanto vale o show?)
(Quanto vale?) Quanto vale o show?

Já em 86 subi
Aos 16 ao time principal, via em São Paulo
Tava mil grau já, favela pra carai, fi
Bar em bar, baile em baile, degrau pós degrau, ia
Quanto baixo eu pude ir, pobre muito mal
O preto vê mil chances de morrer, morô?
Com roupas ou tênis sim, por que não?
Pra muitos uns Artemis, Benzina ou Optalidon, é
Tudo pela preza, irmão
Olha pra mim e diga: "Vale quanto pesa ou não?"

Quanto vale? (Quanto vale?) Quanto vale? (O show, quanto vale?)
(Quanto vale?) Quanto vale? (O show, quanto vale?)
(Quanto vale?) Quanto vale? (Quanto vale o show?)
(Quanto vale?) Quanto vale o show?

A César o que é de César, primeira impressão
Os muleque tinha pressa, mano
Que funk louco, que onda é essa, mano?
E assim meus parceirin virou ladrão
É que malandro é malandro memo e várias fita
Era Bezerra o que tava tendo, Malandro Rife
Outros papo, outras gírias mais, outras grifes
Cristian Dior, Samira, Le Coq Sportif
G-Shock eu tive sim, calça com pizza eu fiz
Brasil é osso, a ideia fixa eu tinha
Porque pardin igual eu assim era um monte, uma pá
Fui garimpar, cruzei a ponte pra lá
Ei, zica
Isso significa que era naquele pique, tocando repique de mão, jow
No auge do Chic Show, nos traje
Kurtis Blow era o cara, curtição da massa
Era luxo, só viver pra dançar, fui ver Sandra Sá
Whodini eu curti
A vitrine Pierre Cardin, Gucci, Fiorucci
Yves Saint Laurent, Indigo Blue
Corpo negro semi-nu encontrado no lixão em São Paulo
A última a abolir a escravidão
Dezembro sangrento, SP, mundo cão promete
Nuvens e valas, chuvas de balas em '87

Quanto vale? Quanto vale o show?

How Much is the Show Worth?

The first thing I learned to do in my life was this, look
Yeah, that's it
Only I know the deserts I crossed to get here
(Here we go) The dice are cast

'83 was cool, seventh grade, I was 13 and all that
Everything was new in a brutal time
The peak was Christmas, kissing girls
The favelas on top had a good sound and vibe
The kit was the Faroait, the hot thing was Patchouli
The cool thing was Djavan, the hit was Billie Jean
From Rock to Black the top ones

On luckier days I listened to Soul Pop
Skinny and weak kid, invisible on the corner
I planned the massacre in my sick mind, huh
No father, no relatives, no, alone among the beasts
The gangster who was in misery did bad
My cousin decides to have a revolver
Around other revolts, it gets involved easily
It was war with the favela below
Without books or pencils and Brazil in collapse

How much is it worth? (How much is the show worth? How much is the show worth?)
(How much is it worth?) How much is it worth? (The show, how much is it worth?)
(How much is the show worth? How much is the show worth?)
(How much is it worth?) How much is the show worth?

Already in 86 I went up
At 16 to the main team, I saw in São Paulo
It was a thousand degrees already, a lot of favela, fi
Bar to bar, dance to dance, step after step, I went
How low could I go, very poor
The black man sees a thousand chances to die, you know?
With clothes or sneakers, yes, why not?
For many some Artemis, Benzina or Optalidon, it is
All for the prize, brother
Look at me and say: "How much does it weigh or not?"

How much is it worth? (How much is it worth?) How much is it worth? (The show, how much is it worth?)
(How much is it worth?) How much is it worth? (The show, how much is it worth?)
(How much is it worth?) How much is it worth? (How much is the show worth?)
(How much is it worth?) How much is the show worth?

To Caesar what is Caesar's, first impression
The dudes were in a hurry, man
What crazy funk, what wave is this, man?
And so my partner became a thief
It's just that a gangster is a gangster, memo and several tapes
It was Bezerra what was going on, Malandro Rife
Other talk, other slang more, other brands
Cristian Dior, Samira, Le Coq Sportif
G-Shock I had yes, pants with pizza I did
Brazil is tough, I had the fixed idea
Because there were a lot of brown people like me, a bunch
I went prospecting, crossed the bridge over there
Hey, zica
This means it was on that peak, playing hand repique, jow
At the height of Chic Show, in our costumes
Kurtis Blow was the man, mass fun
It was luxury, just living to dance, I went to see Sandra Sá
Whodini I enjoyed
The Pierre Cardin, Gucci, Fiorucci showcase
Yves Saint Laurent, Indigo Blue
Half-naked black body found in the São Paulo landfill
The last to abolish slavery
Bloody December, SP, dog world promises
Clouds and valleys, rain of bullets in '87

How much is it worth? How much is the show worth?
