Sente-se a moçada descontente onde quer que se vá
You can feel the discontent crowd wherever you go
Sente-se que a coisa já não pode ficar como está
You can feel that things can no longer stay as they are
Sente-se a decisão dessa gente em se manifestar
You can feel the decision of these people to make themselves heard
Sente-se o que a massa sente, a massa quer gritar
You can feel what the masses feel, the masses want to shout
A gente quer mudança
We want change
O dia da mudança
The day of change
A hora da mudança
The hour of change
O gesto da mudança
The gesture of change
Sente-se tranquilamente e ponha-se a raciocinar
Sit calmly and start to think
Sente-se na arquibancada ou sente-se à mesa de um bar
Sit in the stands or sit at a bar table
Sente-se onde haja gente, logo você vai notar
Sit where there's a crowd, soon you'll notice
Sente-se algo diferente, a massa quer se levantar
Feel something different, the masses want to rise
Pra ver mudança
To see change
O time da mudança
The team of change
O jogo da mudança
The game of change
O lance da mudança
The move of change
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Sente-se e não é somente aqui, mas em qualquer lugar
Sit down and not just here, but anywhere
Terras, povos diferentes, outros sonhos pra sonhar
Lands, different peoples, other dreams to dream
Mesmo e até principalmente onde menos queixas há
Even and especially where there are the fewest complaints
Mesmo lá no inconsciente, alguma coisa está clamando
Even deep in the unconscious, something is calling out
Por mudança
For change
O tempo da mudança
The time for change
O sinal da mudança
The sign of change
O ponto da mudança
The point of change
Sente-se, o que chamou-se ocidente tende a arrebentar
Feel it, what was called the west is about to burst
Todas as correntes do presente para enveredar já
All the chains of the present to pave the way now
Pelas veredas do futuro ciclo do ar
Through the paths of the future air cycle
Sente-se, levante-se, prepare-se para celebrar
Feel it, rise up, get ready to celebrate
O deus mudança
The god of change
O eterno deus mudança
The eternal god of change
Talvez em paz mudança
Perhaps in peace, change
Talvez com sua lança
Maybe with your spear
Sente-se, levante-se
Sit down, stand up
Prepare-se pra celebrar
Get ready to celebrate
O deus mudança
The god of change
O eterno deus mudança
The eternal god of change
Talvez em paz mudança
Perhaps in peace, change
Ah, talvez com sua lança
Ah, maybe with your spear
Sente-se, levante-se
Sit down, stand up
Prepare-se para celebrar
Get ready to celebrate
O deus mudança
The god of change
O eterno deus mudança
The eternal god of change
Talvez em paz mudança
Maybe in peace, change
Talvez com sua lança
Maybe with your spear
Funk music, music
Funk music, music
