Favela [English translation]

I understand this complicated, complex world

The favela is: my history, my roots

Unguided, disconnected, in vain

But content nonetheless

Human malice is not always found

In those who carry rifles

There are people dressed in suit and tie

Killing Brazil

My favela...

Favela, oh

Favela, you who were there when I was born

I open my heart

And sing out my love for you

Favela, oh

Favela, you who were there when I was born

Only those who know you from the inside out

Can understand you

My favela...

Favela, oh

Favela, you who were there when I was born

I open my heart

And sing out my love for you, oh

Favela, oh

Favela, you who were there when I was born

Only those who know you from the inside out

Can understand you

The people who spread across the hillside

Help by mobilizing the communities

They divide what remains from the day's work

And break bread (with the rest)

How is it that these people who are so kind

Are seen as the outcasts

I think it's just that society

Can't see straight

My favela, oh...

Favela, oh

Favela, you who were there when I was born

I open my heart

And sing out my love for you

Favela, oh

Favela, you who were there when I was born

Only those who know you from the inside out

Can understand you

My favela, oh...

Favela, oh

Favela, you who were there when I was born

I open my heart

And sing out my love for you (my love for you)

Favela, oh

Favela, you who were there when I was born

Only those who know you from the inside out

Can understand you

Only those who know...

Only those who know you from the inside out

Can understand you

Only those who know you from the inside out

Can understand you
