Risco Brasil [English translation]

(I don't give up, I don't give up...)

Since the time of caravels, man

People talk about poetizing the favelas

Dude, this tightrope is not a recent thing

We're on the street, fighting hard

And upstairs, there's only French champagne

Man, samba is not a recent thing

Bribery here, wangling1 over there

In the court, things are like that, private jets

Yeah, they're the best

The people want to get together

And there's Carnival, there's good vibes

There's happy people, the girls are wonderful

Two sides of the same coin

I'm Brazilian but no, I don't give up

I have no money but no, I don't give up

The art and craft come from the cradle, man

Of living always in this poverty

Mister, this tightrope is not a recent thing

We fight hard, hitting our tambourines

And the royalty embezzles money

Our people doing bad2 is not a recent thing

Bribery here, wangling1 over there

In the court, things are like that, private jets

Yeah, they're the best

The people want to get together

And there's Carnival, there's good vibes

There's happy people, the girls are wonderful

Two sides of the same coin

I'm Brazilian but no, I don't give up

I have no money but no, I don't give up

I'm Brazilian but no, I don't give up

I have no money but no, I don't give up

No, I don't give up

I cross Brazil from side to side

And everyday, in every case

I strike up the damage

And make up lost ground

And brother, I play the game every single day

I try my luck3

I'm Brazilian but no, I don't give up

I have no money but no, I don't give up

I'm Brazilian but no, I don't give up

I have no money but no, I don't give up

I'm Brazilian but no, I don't give up...
