Antes de Sabota escrever "Um Bom Lugar"
Before Sabota wrote 'A Good Place'
A gente já dançava o "Shimmy Shimmy Ya"
We were already dancing the 'Shimmy Shimmy Ya'
Chico avisara "a roda não vai parar"
Chico warned, 'the wheel won't stop'
E quem se julga a nata cuidado pra não quaiar
And those who think they’re the best, be careful not to fall
Atitudes de amor devemos samplear
Attitudes of love we should sample
Mulatu Astatke e Fela Kuti escutar
Listening to Mulatu Astatke and Fela Kuti,
Pregar a paz, sim, é questão de honra
Preaching peace, yes, it's a matter of honor.
Pois o mundo real não é o Rancho da Pamonha
For the real world isn't the Cornmeal Ranch.
E pode crer, mais de quinhentos mil manos
And believe me, over five hundred thousand brothers.
Pode crer também, o dialeto suburbano
You can also believe in the suburban dialect.
Pode crer a fé em você que depositamos
You can believe in the faith we place in you.
E fia, eu odeio explicar gíria
And girl, I hate explaining slang.
Tenho pra você uma caixa de lama
I have for you a box of mud.
Um lençol de féu pra forrar a sua cama
A sheet of poison to line your bed.
Na força do verso a rima que espanca
In the strength of the verse, the rhyme that strikes.
A hipocrisia doce que alicia nossas crianças
The sweet hypocrisy that entices our children
Eu não preciso de óculos pra enxergar
I don't need glasses to see
O que acontece ao meu redor
What's happening around me
Eles dão o doce pra depois tomar
They give the candy just to take it back
Hoje vão ter o meu melhor
Today you're gonna see my best
Eles pensam que eu vou moscar
They think I'm going to falter
Mente pequena, eu tenho dó!
Small mind, I feel sorry for you!
Eu não preciso de Mãe Diná
I don't need a fortune teller
Pra saber que é o seu pior
To know that it’s your worst
Ogum adjo, ê mariô
Ogum adjo, ê mariô
(Okunlakaiê)
(Okunlakaiê)
Ogum adjo, ê mariô
Ogum, I ask you, oh my friend
(Okunlakaiê)
(Okunlakaiê)
Ogum adjo, ê mariô
Ogum, I ask you, oh my friend
(Okunlakaiê)
(Okunlakaiê)
Ogum adjo, ê mariô
Ogum, I ask you, oh my friend
(Okunlakaiê)
(Okunlakaiê)
Ogum adjo, ê mariô
Ogum, I ask you, oh my friend
(Okunlakaiê)
(Okunlakaiê)
Ogum adjo, ê mariô
Ogum, I ask you, oh my friend
(Okunlakaiê)
(Okunlakaiê)
Ogum adjo, ê mariô
Ogum bless, oh my friend
(Okunlakaiê)
(Okunlakaiê)
Ogum adjo, ê mariô
Ogum bless, oh my friend
