Quando Eu Estava La Na Rua pten
Quando eu estava la na rua, Eu não tinhá compromissó, A melhor coisa do mundo, Era catar papél no lixo, Com o pé sujo de carvão, E meleca no nariz, Ia correndo la pra praça, Tomar banho no cháfariz, Eu só tinhá um compromissó, Que era pédir a esmola, Cada dinheiro que ganháva, Gastava cheirando cola, Eu ficava aborrecido, Se me mandasse pra escola, Colocava o uniforme, Pégava minhá sacola, Ia pra boca do lixo, Ou pro campo jogar bola. Olhá meu Deus que e dono da terra, Olhái esse povo que estamos em guerra, Olhá meu deus que e dono da lua, Olhái as crianças que estão la na rua. Olhá meu Deus que e dono da terra, Olhái esse povo que estamos em guerra, Olhá meu deus que e dono da lua, Olhái as crianças que estão la na rua.
When I was out there on the street, I had no commitments, The best thing in the world, Was picking up paper in the trash, With my feet dirty with coal, And snot on my nose, I would run over to the square, To take a bath in the fountain, I only had one commitment, Which was to beg for alms, Every bit of money I earned, I spent sniffing glue, I would get upset, If they sent me to school, Putting on the uniform, Taking my bag, Going to the mouth of the dump, Or to the field to play ball. Look my God who is the owner of the earth, Look at these people for we are at war, Look my God who is the owner of the moon, Look at the children who are out there on the street. Look my God who is the owner of the earth, Look at these people for we are at war, Look my God who is the owner of the moon, Look at the children who are out there on the street.
