Livre Serás

With your bare feet, I met a boyCom os seus pes descalcos, conheci um menino
He called me sir, and I was surprisedChamou-me senhor, e eu me surpreendi
His hands outstretched, asking for changeSuas mãos estendidas, pedindo-me esmola
'Cause he was hungryPos ele tinha fome
He asked me for a dimePediu-me esmola
Called me sir, and I was surprisedChamou-me senhor, e eu me surpreendi

I lifted his face in my hands, a tear fellLevantei seu rosto em minhas mãos, uma lágrima caiu
He said don’t worry, and a tear of sweatEle disse não se preocupes, e lágrima do suor
From whole lives given, and shoes of a thousand colorsDe daraisos enteiros, e sapatos de mil cores
But little by little they turn into cashSo que pouco a pouco se convertem em dinheiro
The sacrifice of the poor, seeing the sirSacrificio de pobre vendo senhor

And somedayE algum dia

He told me a story, about his shackContou-me uma história, sobre a sua sanzala
Where many boys are just like himOnde muitos meninos são iguais a ele
Where misery suffocates peopleOnde a miseria, asfixia a gente
Mothers dieMorrem as mães
Their children dieMorrem seus filhos
They die of hunger, just like himMorrem de fome, igual que ele

You will live happyViveras feliz
And you won’t dieE não morreras
And somedayE algum dia
