Nengo Vieira - Favela Lyrics

Why you crying favela?
Are you running away
To stairways of sorrow
And rooftops of pain
Your broken down system
Has you trapped and afraid
I'm telling you hold your head up
And sing

Your monarchs and mansions
On top of them hills
Have got you believing
You're living life still
But dreaming's just dreaming
'til reality's real
When ghettos be run like kingdoms in hills

Be free, be free now, oh be free
Be free, be free now, oh be free
Be free, be free now, oh be free
Be free, favela, oh be free

Por que choras favela?
Por que falta o pão?
Se te faltou a água
Não te falta o perdão
Como a luz da criança
Tua esperança chegou
Vem brilhar sol da liberdade
No amor... oh yeah!

Be free, be free now, oh be free
Be free, be free now, oh be free
Be free, be free now, oh be free
Be free, favela, oh be free

Procuro e não te encontro
You're living in the shadows
Espero pela luz do sol
But i can see the hope of a light coming

Here in babylon
They take our lives
Here in babylon
They rob our rights
Here in babylon
Where dreamers dream
Sing favela sing

Here in babylon (aqui na babilônia)
They take our lives (eu não vivo mais)
Here in babylon (aqui na babilônia)
They rob our rights (eu não vivo mais)
Here in babylon (aqui na babilônia)
Where dreamers dream (eu não vivo mais)
Sing favela sing
Sing favela sing

Be free, be free now, oh be free...
Be free, be free now, oh be free...
