Rebola Nêga [English translation]

Swing, swinger

Swing, girl, since life is too hard

Swing, swinger

Shake your hips around

You can see that this girl has such a hard life

You think that she suffers

She works from Monday through Monday

When it's raining and when the Sun is shining

She only calms down when she gets into the subway

Smashed against the window

Her dreams are free and she only

Batters her children with love

She may suffer, but she dreams

This country is such a big shame

There's a lot of injustice going on here

Shamelessly

She makes a pass

In search of happiness

When she can, she goes out to dance

So she can get her hopes renewed

Swing, swinger...
