Eu Só Quero É Ser Feliz

I just want to be happy
Walk peacefully in the hood where I was born, yeah
And be able to take pride
And know that the poor have their place
Faith in God, DJ

I just want to be happy
Walk peacefully in the hood where I was born, yeah
And be able to take pride
And know that the poor have their place
But I just want to be happy, happy, happy, happy, happy
Where I was born, huh
And be able to take pride
And know that the poor have their place

My dear authority, I don’t know what to do anymore
With so much violence, I’m scared to live
'Cause I live in the hood and I’m really disrespected
Sadness and joy walk side by side here
I say a prayer to a protective saint
But I’m interrupted by gunfire
While the rich live in big, beautiful houses
The poor are humiliated, treated like trash in the hood
I can’t take this wave of violence anymore
I just ask the authorities for a bit more competence

I just want to be happy
Walk peacefully in the hood where I was born, huh
And be able to take pride
And know that the poor have their place
But I just want to be happy, happy, happy, happy, happy
Where I was born, yeah
And be able to take pride
And know that the poor have their place

Fun nowadays, we can’t even think about it
'Cause even at the parties, they come to humiliate us
Hanging out in the square that used to be so normal
Now violence is the trend in the area
Innocent people who have nothing to do with it
Are losing their right to live today
I’ve never seen a postcard that highlights a hood
I only see beautiful and lovely landscapes
Whoever goes abroad misses the hood
The foreigner comes here and doesn’t know the reality
Goes to the South Zone to try coconut water
And the poor in the hood keep struggling
They changed the presidency, a new hope
I suffered in the storm, now I want the calm
The people have the power, they just need to discover
If they do nothing over there, we’ll do everything from here

I just want to be happy
Walk peacefully in the hood where I was born, yeah
And be able to take pride
And know that the poor have their place, I
I just want to be happy, happy, happy, happy, happy
Where I was born, huh
And be able to take pride, yeah
The poor have their place

Fun nowadays, no way
'Cause even at the parties, they come to humiliate us
Hanging out in the square that used to be so normal
Now violence is the trend in the area
Innocent people who have nothing to do with it
Are losing their right to live today
I’ve never seen a postcard that highlights a hood
I only see beautiful and lovely landscapes
Whoever goes abroad misses the hood
The foreigner comes here and doesn’t know the reality
Goes to the South Zone to try coconut water
And the poor in the hood, struggling
They changed the presidency, a new hope
I suffered in the storm, now I want the calm
The people have the power, they just need to discover
If they do nothing over there, we’ll do everything from here

I just want to be happy
Walk peacefully in the hood where I was born, yeah
And be able to take pride
And know that the poor have their place, yeah
I just want to be happy, happy, happy, happy, happy
Where I was born, huh
And be able to take pride
And know that the poor have their place
And be able to take pride
And know that the poor have their place
