These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Eu venho de um pais
I come from a country
Cresci numa aldeia com os pes na cidade
I grew up in a village with my feet in the city
E a cabeça a viajar
And the head travels
Enterrei ouro
I buried gold
Debaixo do chao
Under the floor
Brinquei no pó
I played in the dust
Esfolei os joelhos
I skinned my knees
Fui feliz na confusao
I was happy in the confusion
A minha metade que é sombra
My half that is shadow
Nao apaga a minha luz
Don't turn off my light
Tenho o tempo do meu lado
I have time on my side
É o amor que me conduz
It's love that drives me
Tem o sangue quente
Has hot blood
E mesmo ferida e magoada
And even wounded and hurt
Sai armada até ao dente
Come out armed to the teeth
Tem lingua afiada
Has a sharp tongue
E mesmo ferida e magoada
And even wounded and hurt
Usa flores na espingarda
Use flowers in the shotgun
Faço o meu caminho
I make my way
Nem olho pra tras
I don't even look back
Os erros que fiz
The mistakes I made
Nao doem mais
They don't hurt anymore
Pes cravados no chão
Feet stuck in the floor
Sei de onde vim
I know where I came from
Quem me fez a mim
Who made me
Foi gente com alma e coração
They were people with soul and heart
Tem o sangue quente
Has hot blood
E mesmo ferida e magoada
And even wounded and hurt
Sai armada até ao dente
Come out armed to the teeth
Tem lingua afiada
Has a sharp tongue
E mesmo ferida e magoada
And even wounded and hurt
Usa flores na espingarda
Use flowers in the shotgun
