O tempo tá voando, pivete

Time is flying, kid

Imagina em '88,'87

Imagine in '88, '87

Os cabelo era total mesmo

The hair was really big

Nós não tinha nem sonho, mano

We didn't even have dreams, man

Que sonho que tinha?

What dream did we have?

Sonhar com o quê?

To dream about what?

Nóis vinha do capão

We came from Capão

Aí, na paulista, olha o tênis na vitrine

Then, on Paulista, look at the sneakers in the window

De uma hora pra outra comecei a usar umas roupa estranha

Suddenly I started wearing some strange clothes

Umas blusa de jeans grafitado nas costa

Some denim shirts graffitied on the back

Umas correntes de latão

Some brass chains

De ferro, grossona

Of iron, really thick

Imitando o bando de run-dmc

Imitating the Run-DMC crew

As mina tiravam sarro

The girls made fun of me

Eu investi sempre um pouquinho a mais que todo mundo

I always invested a little bit more than everyone else

Porque eu não tinha nada a perder, mano

Because I had nothing to lose, man

Então eu nunca

So I never

Não tinha um perigo maior que a minha própria vida real

There wasn't a greater danger than my own real life

Minha própria vida real já era um perigo, mano

My own real life was already a danger, man

Cada vez que ele começavam a entender o som, eu fazia outro que não dava pra entender

Every time they started to understand the sound, I made another one that couldn't be understood

Saía do rótulo

I broke out of the mold

Até criar metade de 50% é amigo, 50% inimigo

Until creating half... 50% are friends, 50% enemies

Os inimigo vai ter que esperar

The enemies will have to wait

Depois eu volto, agora não vai dar não

Later I'll come back, it won't work now

Não dá pra ficar com eles nessa não

Can't stay with them in this

Unanimidade não é liberdade

Unanimity isn't freedom

É o contrário

It's the opposite

Não pode isso, não pode aquilo

Can't do this, can't do that

Ser infeliz pode

Being unhappy is allowed

Ser feliz não pode

Being happy isn't allowed

Simples assim

It's that simple

O bagulho tá maior, e agora?

The thing is bigger, and now?

Tá tocando em todos os carro

It's playing in all the cars

Todos os bagulho

All the things

E agora?

And now?

Unanimidade — Unanimity

Unanimidade translates to "unanimity" or "being in complete agreement". It's a sophisticated word not commonly found in everyday conversation or many song lyrics.

Projota uses this word to make a profound statement about freedom: "Unanimidade não é liberdade / É o contrário" (Unanimity is not freedom / It's the opposite). He challenges the idea that universal agreement leads to liberation, suggesting that true freedom lies in individuality and dissent rather than conforming to popular opinion. This makes the word particularly thought-provoking in the context of the song.
