Noite Inteira Lyrics in English Pitty , Lazzo Matumbi

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Noite Inteira by Pitty from Portuguese to English.
Leaving home ready for the fight is law
Friendly fire's a truce before dawn
The trumpet sounded; it wasn't tea, I know
There'd be no gentleness at all
Step with confidence on this new ground
The takeover happens just like that
It's war with no quarter
A clash with reason
To belong and be on every corner
On every corner
People gather to make revolution
People gather to talk nonsense
Who you hang with
Who lends you a hand
See, the street's for a lifetime
If on the flag there's still
Any heart
When it beats
It bleeds red
And on the slopes
To go up there's always a no
Downhill goes just like that
All night long
Defying the norm of what should be
Let home be the world out there
Sometimes what counts is argument
There's time to dance all night long
All night long
People gather to make revolution
People gather to talk nonsense
Who you hang with
Who lends you a hand
See, the street's for a lifetime
If on the flag there's still
Any heart
When it beats
It bleeds red
And on the slopes
To go up there's always a no
Downhill goes just like that
All night long
People gather to make revolution
People gather to talk nonsense
Who you hang with
Who lends you a hand
See, the street's for a lifetime
If on the flag there's still
Any heart
When it beats
It bleeds red
And on the slopes
To go up there's always a no
Downhill 'abajo' is like that
All night long
I don't ask you to agree
Don't stop me from speaking
I get that you disagree
Don't expect me to shut up
Respect existence
Or expect resistance
Respect existence
Or expect resistance
I don't ask you to agree
Don't stop me from speaking
Respect existence
Respect existence
Or expect resistance
I don't ask you to agree
Don't stop me from speaking
I get that you disagree
Existence

SONG MEANING

Picture a humid Brazilian night where drums echo along cobblestone streets. Pitty joins forces with reggae icon Lazzo Matumbi to paint that restless scene: friends leave home "prontas pra peleja" (ready for battle), trumpets blare, and the city turns into a living battlefield of ideas. Every corner is a new territory to conquer with rhythm, protest, and dance. Climbing the steep hills of Salvador means resistance, while sliding downhill feels rebellious and free. The chorus reminds us that crowds gather both to spark revolutions and to chat nonsense, proving that community is messy, loud, and beautifully human.

At the heart of “Noite Inteira” is a rallying cry: “Respeita a existência ou espere resistência” – respect existence or expect resistance. The song celebrates standing your ground, choosing your companions wisely, and knowing that the streets, the flag, and even the beat of a heart can bleed red with passion. It invites you to defy rules, argue, dance, and shout your truth until sunrise. In other words, it is an anthem for anyone who refuses to be silent, embracing the power of collective voice all night long.
