Tem certos dias
There are certain days
Em que eu penso em minha gente
What do I think about my people
E sinto assim
And I feel this way
Todo o meu peito se apertar
My whole chest tightens
Porque parece
Because it seems
Que acontece de repente
What happens suddenly
Feito um desejo de eu viver
Made a wish for me to live
Sem me notar
Without noticing me
Igual a como
Same as
Quando eu passo no subúrbio
When I pass through the suburbs
Eu muito bem
I very well
Vindo de trem de algum lugar
Coming by train from somewhere
E aí me dá
And then it gives me
Como uma inveja dessa gente
Like envy of these people
Que vai em frente
That goes forward
Sem nem ter com quem contar
Without even having anyone to count on
São casas simples
They are simple houses
Com cadeiras na calçada
With chairs on the sidewalk
E na fachada
And on the facade
Escrito em cima que é um lar
Written above that it's a home
Pela varanda
By the balcony
Flores tristes e baldias
Sad and empty flowers
Como a alegria
Like joy
Que não tem onde encostar
That has nowhere to touch
E aí me dá uma tristeza
And then it makes me feel sad
No meu peito
In my chest
Feito um despeito
Made a spite
De eu não ter como lutar
That I can't fight
E eu que não creio
And I don't believe
Peço a Deus por minha gente
I ask God for my people
É gente humilde
They are humble people
Que vontade de chorar
How I want to cry
