Pretty Down [English translation]

In this world those born black

Have something to tell

Even if it’s just a little bit

About being done wrong

In this world

Those born free

Have something to give

Even if it’s just a little bit

So that others can have a reason for living

In this world

Those who want to be happy

Have to set a day aside to cry

Even if it’s just a little bit

So they don’t lose their minds

In this world

Those who want to go to heaven

Have to pass through the world

Even if it’s just a little bit

Because this is the place where you’re judged

And you pass through, you pass through

So they can count the songs of the birds

So they can multiply bread and wine

Even just a little bit

If they want to be divine

Sometimes maybe just a simple yes

Or a simple no

Can take you from here and put you right there
