Apesar de Você [English translation]

Today you are in charge

If you said, we agree

There's no discussion

My people today

Talk about you behind your back

And looking to the floor, you see?

You invented this state

And tried to invent

All our darkness

You invented a sin

But forgot to invent

To forgive

In spite of you

Tomorrow will be

Another day

I ask you

Where you will hide

From our happiness

How will you ban

When a cock insists

To sing

New water will be sprouting

And people loving each other

All the time

When the time comes

My suffering

I'll ask you to pay with interest

All this love repressed

This shout contained

This samba in the dark

You invented sadness

So please just

Disinvent it

You will pay doubled

Every tear that fell

On my face

In spite of you

Tomorrow will be

Another day

You'll have to endure

When the morning is born

With its poems

How will you explain yourself

When the sky get clear

Out of the blue, with impunity

My people are gonna sing

Next to you

In spite of you

Tomorrow will be

Another day

You're actually going down

And stuff
