Datena da Raça [English translation]

I want to be Datena1 for real

The poet whose poems talk about suffering

The singer whose songs talk about the disgraces in the world

Poverty is evident2

Poverty is dancing

Poverty is chanting

Poverty is pop

There's so much suffering in your life

We have doubts about pain

People only pay attention

To blood and open wounds

1. José Luiz Datena, a Brazilian TV presenter and journalist2. 'Gritar' would translate into English as 'scream', but in this context, it means 'is evident/clear'
