Dois de Junho [English translation]

In the black and racist country

In the heart of Latin America

In the town of Recife1

Tuesday, June 2nd, two thousand and twenty

29 degrees Celsius2 outside

A clear blue sky

The house employee goes to work

In the middle of the pandemic

That's why she takes by the hand

Miguel, aged five

The name of an angel

Taking a flight of thirty five meters3

From the ninth floor

Fifty nine seconds before his mother came back

The fate of Icarus

A black boy's blood

Wings of air

The fate of Icarus

A black boy's blood

Wings of air

In the black and racist country

In the heart of Latin America
