Antes que seja tarde [English translation]

With strength and with gusto

happiness must be spread out

to the greatest extent

We must water the arid,

wipe the tears from eyes,

lighten up the dark alleys

before it is too late

We must raid the bars1

and retake the streets

and visit the homes

before it is too late

We must strip away the darkness

and bless the daylight

and put away the stones

before it is too late

We must leave seeds

in the most blessed fruit

in the ground and in the womb

before it is too late

We must make a show

and free the dreams

of our young people

before it is too late

We must change the people

before the flame dies away,

before faith comes to an end,

before it is too late.

1. this strikes me as wrong, maybe "bares" should be "barras" which might make more sense
