Dizem, 'Sara, tem cuidado com o que dizes
They say, 'Sara, be careful what you say
Lava a cara, tu não mostres de onde vens
Wash your face, don't show where you come from
Põe vestidos e esconde as tuas raízes
Put on dresses and hide your roots
Finge lá que és senhora, tu finges bem'
Pretend you're a lady, you pretend well'
Dizem, 'Glória, tu usa as unhas mais curtas
They say, 'Gloria, you wear shorter nails
Fala bom português e larga o calão
Speak good Portuguese and drop the slang
Não fales da pobreza, da noite escura
Don't talk about poverty, about the dark night
Ganha quem tem poder e não coração'
Whoever has power and no heart wins'
Mas no meu bairro eu vejo prédios de todas as cores
But in my neighborhood I see buildings of all colors
Que gritam ao mundo, 'o pobre há de sempre ser pobre'
Who shout to the world, 'the poor will always be poor'
No meu bairro vejo gente, sei dos seus horrores
In my neighborhood I see people, I know their horrors
E que quem vem da rua é sempre nobre
And that whoever comes from the street is always noble
Eu venho do bairro
I come from the neighborhood
Da janela conto as estrelas
From the window I count the stars
Eu venho do bairro
I come from the neighborhood
Da janela conto as estrelas
From the window I count the stars
Não sou de mais lado nenhum
I'm not from anywhere else
Eu sou de Chelas
I'm from Chelas
Não sou de mais lado nenhum
I'm not from anywhere else
Eu sou de Chelas
I'm from Chelas
Dizem, 'Glória, a maquiagem 'tá carregada'
They say, 'Glória, the makeup' is loaded'
Dizem, 'Glória, finge lá ser o que não és'
They say, 'Glory, pretend to be what you're not'
Mas disso eu já sei tudo e estou cansada
But I already know everything about that and I'm tired
Levo o Samba na voz e salto nos pés
I carry Samba in my voice and jump on my feet
Dizem, 'Sara, tu sorri, sê mais comedida
They say, 'Sara, you smile, be more measured
Cumprimenta os senhores, faz-me o favor'
Greet you gentlemen, do me a favor'
Mas o fado que eu canto, canta-me a vida
But the fado that I sing, sings my life
É a voz de quem nasce filho da dor
It is the voice of someone born a child of pain
Mas no meu bairro eu vejo prédios de todas as cores
But in my neighborhood I see buildings of all colors
Que gritam ao mundo, 'o pobre há de sempre ser pobre'
Who shout to the world, 'the poor will always be poor'
No meu bairro vejo gente, sei dos seus horrores
In my neighborhood I see people, I know their horrors
E que quem vem da rua é sempre nobre
And that whoever comes from the street is always noble
Eu venho do bairro
I come from the neighborhood
Da janela conto as estrelas
From the window I count the stars
Eu venho do bairro
I come from the neighborhood
Da janela conto as estrelas
From the window I count the stars
Não sou de mais lado nenhum

Eu conto as estrelas, eu conto as estrelas, eu conto as estrelas
I count the stars, I count the stars, I count the stars
Eu conto as estrelas, eu conto as estrelas, eu conto as estrelas, eu conto as estrelas
I count the stars, I count the stars, I count the stars, I count the stars
Eu venho do bairro
I come from the neighborhood
Da janela conto as estrelas
From the window I count the stars
Eu venho do bairro
I come from the neighborhood
Da janela conto as estrelas
From the window I count the stars
