Cidade Negra minha irma

Select language to translate this lyric

All I can see
This fog
Covering the evening
On every corner
All I can see
This smoke
Covering the evening
br/>In every window
But I want to tell you the facts
I can show you facts
just have a little more tact
And make it clear to you
Since ancient times
Things have been like this, like this
Men are not equal
They are not equal and that's the end
That's where this whole story is from
That's where the story came from
br/>Slave of Babylon
Worker of Brazil
Everything I can see
This fog...
.. In every window
But the idea came
From the Bourgeois Revolution
And came the ideology, came the socialist dream
Came the promise of equality and freedom
Shimmering comets that went into the night
They existed while there was the greatest
br/>From there comes the story
From there the story came
Slave of Babylon
Worker from Brazil
From Ancient Egypt
In Greece and Rome
From Feudal Europe
From the colonial world
In the industrial world
In the Stalinist USSR
On Wall Street
In communist Cuba
And in Brazil
And in Brazil...Huh?...
Where does the story come from
From there did man emerge
Slave to servant
Worker in Brazil
Where does the story come from
From there the story arose
Slave of Babylon
Worker from Brazil
