Brasil [English translation]
Brasil [English translation]
I was not invited
To this shabby party
Put out by these men to persuade me
To blindly pay
For all this crap
Dappled even before I was even born
I was not even offered
A cigarette
I just stood by the door parking cars
I was not elected
Manager of anything anywhere
My credit card is shaped like a knife
Brazil
Show me your real face
I want to see who will ultimately pay
For us to keep going like that
Brazil
What is your real business?
Who are your partners?
Have faith on me
I was not invited
To this shabby party
Put out by these men to persuade me
To blindly pay
For all this crap
Dappled even before I was even born
I was not chosen
Girl of the week on TV
I was not bribed either
Will that be the end of me?
To watch TV
Amongst the natives
Programmed to blindly say “yes, yes”
Brazil
Show me your real face
I want to see who will ultimately pay
For us to keep going like that
Brazil
What is your real business?
Who are your partners?
Have faith on me
Great unimportant motherland
Not even for a second
I will betray you
(I won’t betray you)
