16. Não a um, mas a todos os sete anões

    Not one, but all seven dwarfs

17. Eu cá me ponho sempre a meditar

    I always find myself pondering

18. Pela mania da compreensão

    For the craze of understanding

19. Ainda hoje andei tentando decifrar

    Even today I tried to decipher

20. Algo que li que estava escrito numa pichação

    Something I read that was written in a graffiti

21. Que agora eu resolvi cantar

    That now I decided to sing

22. Neste samba em forma de refrão

    In this samba shaped like a refrain

23. Bob Marley morreu

    Bob Marley is gone

24. Porque além de negro era judeu

    Because besides being black, he was a Jew

25. Michael Jackson ainda resiste

    Michael Jackson still endures

26. Porque além de branco ficou triste

    Because besides being white, he became sad

27. Bob Marley morreu

    Bob Marley is gone

28. Porque além de negro era judeu

    Because besides being black, he was a Jew

29. Michael Jackson ainda resiste

    Michael Jackson still endures

30. Porque além de branco ficou triste

    Because besides being white, he became sad

31. Lá, laiá

    There, laiá

32. Lá, laiá, laiá, laiá, laiá

    There, laiá, laiá, laiá, laiá

33. Eu cá me ponho sempre a meditar

    I often find myself deep in thought

34. Pela mania da compreensão

    Out of the urge for understanding

35. Ainda hoje andei tentando decifrar

    Even today I tried to decode

36. Algo que li que estava escrito numa pichação

    Something I read that was written in graffiti

37. Que agora eu resolvi cantar (cantar)

    That now I've decided to sing (sing)

    In this samba shaped like a chorus

    Because besides being black, he was Jewish

41. Michael Jackson ainda resiste

    Michael Jackson still holds on

42. Porque além de branco ficou triste (pois é)

    Because besides being white, he grew sad (that’s right)

43. Michael Jackson ainda resiste

    Michael Jackson still holds on

44. Porque além de branco ficou triste

    Because besides being white, he grew sad

45. Lá, laiá

    There, laiá

46. Lá, laiá, laiá, laiá, laiá

    There, laiá, laiá, laiá, laiá
