Lyrics
Menina das favelas, en tu cara puedo ver
Que el mundo no es como debe de ser
Que dios seguramente no es una mujer…
Chiquita das favelas no pares de reir
Con tan poco eres feliz, aún no sabes sufrir
Sólo eres una niña aprendiendo a vivir
Menina das favelas a la luz de la vela
Juegas con tu sombra, saltas a la comba
Me pides que te cuente un cuento de duendes
Antes de ir a dormir…
Chiquita das favelas tantas noches sin cena
El mundo da una vuelta indiferente a tu condena
Bailas una samba, medicina pal alma
Y no pares de reir, de reir…
Menina das favelas pronto serás una mujer
Te ha tocado perder, nada puedes hacer
Tampoco has elegido el color de tu piel…
Chiquita das favelas en tu cara puedo ver
Que el mundo no es como debe de ser
Que dios seguramente no es una mujer…
Menina das favelas a la luz de la vela
Lyrics translation
Menina das favelas, in your face I can see
That the world is not as it should be
That God is surely not a woman…
Little favelas in couple laughing
With so little you're happy, you still don't know how to suffer
You're just a little girl learning to live
Favelas girl in the light of the candle
You play with your shadow, you jump to the curb
You're asking me to tell you a fairy tale.
Before going to sleep…
Chiquita das favelas so many nights without dinner
The world takes an indifferent turn to your condemnation
You dance a samba, medicine pal alma
And don't stop laughing, laughing…
Menina das favelas soon you will be a woman
You've lost, nothing you can do
You haven't chosen the color of your skin either…
Chiquita das favelas in your face I can see
That the world is not as it should be
That God is surely not a woman…
Favelas girl in the light of the candle
