Bandidos da América [English translation]

Open your eyes

Face the city

Invert the truth

Of this life

Open the eyes

Of one of your halves

To the other half

There's no way out

Open your eyes

And take the blame of the mistakes

From 500 years ago, paleface1

Open your eyes

Because hunger is striking you

And we kill each other with pipe guns

We are the bandits of America

America, America

We stole a hundred years of loneliness

Loneliness, loneliness

We destroyed Africa's dream

Africa's unconsciousness

By saying no to the no

Hail the pain

Oh, Lord

Hail the pain of America
