Eu quero ir, minha gente, eu não sou daqui
I want to go, my people, I don't belong here
Eu não tenho nada, quero ver Irene rir
I have nothing, I want to see Irene smile
Quero ver Irene dar sua risada
I want to see Irene laugh out loud
Eu quero ir, minha gente, eu não sou daqui
I want to go, my people, I don't belong here
Eu não tenho nada, quero ver Irene rir
I have nothing, I want to see Irene smile
Quero ver Irene dar sua risada
I want to see Irene laugh out loud
Eu quero ir, minha gente, eu não sou daqui
I want to go, my people, I don't belong here
Eu não tenho nada, quero ver Irene rir
I have nothing, I want to see Irene smile
Quero ver Irene dar sua risada
I want to see Irene laugh out loud
Eu quero ir, minha gente, eu não sou daqui
I want to go, my people, I don't belong here

I want to go, my people, I don't belong here
Eu não tenho nada, quero ver Irene rir
I have nothing, I want to see Irene smile
Quero ver Irene dar sua risada
