Monumento Vivo [English translation]

There, where your statue is located

Our love gets complete

There is plenty of pain and pleasure

Poet

The light spreads through the square

And the shadow of your hand protrudes from the statue

To give and receive is your creation

Poet

There, where your statue is located

And where the monument is alive

Every moment is a reason

To celebrate

There, I only promise I will love you

Every night, every day

My mulatto, my amulet

My ghetto, my Bahia1

Peace, I want peace

What I really want

Is to forget my griefs

Oh, oh, oh, oh

It feels so hot here

It feels so hot here

I want to drink some water

Water, water, water

To kill the thirst of this crowd

Water, water, water

To wash my soul and my heart
