Lyrics
Se o sol pudesse ver
Tudo que ia acontecer
Talvez não nascesse aquele dia
Se as orações das mães
Tivessem sido ouvidas
Nada disso acontecia
Mas naquele dia até Deus se escondeu
Não quis ouvir pedidos de socorro
A voz da razão sumiu
Quando a polícia civil subiu no morro
Fogo sobre os dois irmãos
Nem mão nem contra-mão
É só sangue, terra e cocaína
A ferida rasga a terra e mostra um coração
Que sangra e se contamina
Mas naquele dia…
Lyrics translation
If the sun could see
All that was going to happen
Maybe he wasn't born that day.
If the prayers of mothers
Had been heard
None of this happened
But that day even God hid himself
I didn't want to hear distress calls.
The Voice of reason is gone
When the civil police climbed the hill
Fire on the two brothers
Neither hand nor counter-hand
It's just blood, dirt and cocaine.
The wound tears the Earth and shows a heart
That bleeds and contaminates
But that day…
