THE CITY - Chico Science & Nação Zumbi

Chico Science & Nação Zumbi

A Cidade / The City

The Sun rises and lights the developed stones,
Which grew with the strength of suicidal masons.
Riders circulate watching the persons,
Not matter if they are bad,
Not even matter if they are good.

And the city presents itself centre of the ambitions,
For beggars or rich men, and others business.
Buses, automobiles, motorbikes and subways,
Workers, bosses, policemen, street vendors.

The city does not stop, the city only grows
Up above raises and below goes down.
The city does not stop, the city only grows
Up above raises and below goes down.

The city is prostituted,
For those that used it in search of exit.
Illusion for persons and other places,
The city and its fame goes besides the seas.

Among of the international cleverness,
The city here it is not so badly.
And the situation always more or less,
Always a few with more and others with less.

The city does not stop, the city only grows
Up above raises and below goes down.
The city does not stop, the city only grows
Up above raises and below goes down.

I'll make an embolada, a samba, a maracatu
All so poisoned, good for me and you.
So we leave from the mud and to face the urubus.
I'll make an embolada, a samba, a maracatu
All so poisoned, good for me and you.
So we leave from the mud and to face the urubus.

In a day of Sun, Recife woke up
With the same stench of a day before.

The city does not stop, the city only grows
Up above raises and below goes down.
The city does not stop, the city only grows
Up above raises and below goes down.
