Os Pais [English translation]

Parents, parents

Are worrying too much

Afraid that their children will fall victims to drug dealers

Or to sexual offenders

However, at the same time, they're in favor of the current freedoms

That's why they don't make a big deal

Of the semi-nudity of every Carnaval season

Of the astonishing and natural beauty

Of the girl who, in her provocative walk, expresses

The curvy strength of her morals

A floating love, above good and bad

Parents, parents

Are worrying too much

Afraid that their children will fall victims to drug dealers

Or to sexual offenders

However, at the same time, they're in favor of the current freedoms

That's why they can't run from problems

Either more freedom or more repression

The main issue of this so-called civilization

Here in Brazil, under the Ipanema sky

On the screen of Cinema Transcendental1

Moral is hung on a string

A g-string

Parents, parents

Are worrying too much

Afraid that their children will fall victims to drug dealers

Or to, or to, or to, or to...
