Pavão Pavãozinho (part. Pregador Luo)

What I saw in Central Brazil
In Little Peacock, in Padre Miguel
I haven't seen anywhere else, outside of here
Out with so much misery
I'm going to scare away the ghost of chaos
And send it somewhere else
To Apollyon's house
What I saw in the Mineiro Highlands
What I saw in the Sertão, in the riverside communities of the Amazon
It went beyond, it went beyond

Yeah, it's time for the Senate to wake up
It's time for the people to shake it off
It's time for kindness to take over (ah)
Yeah, it's time to believe more in the courts
To exorcise the mold from the prisons
To see our elders singing (ah)

(Afrolata!)
(Where are the hands up high?)
(I want to see hands up high)
(Everybody with hands up high, let’s go!)

(Luo!)
The injustices will one day come to an end
Don't believe it will always be this way
The bitterness of your life will soon pass
The day of healing is coming
My sister, the crying may last a night
But joy will come in the morning
My brother, it's better to be honest
Earn your bread with the sweat of your brow
A little with God is a lot, a lot without God is little
How many lost their lives trying to escape the struggle?
Don't be foolish, don't be crazy
Wielding a gun, stealing or shooting
That's not how you secure your child's future
Fun, leisure, all of that costs a lot
And I know it’s tough
Seeing some with so much and others with nothing
But relax, the turning point is coming
How many children cry from hunger?
How many mothers raise their kids
Without the support of their men?
Hey, hands up, go!
The hope of seeing your kid graduate
Fades with time, and I regret it
Unfortunately, for the outskirts, it’s left
Prejudice, neglect, agony
In the simplicity of these words
Lies the wisdom
Don't give up, keep your faith
Keep waiting for the big day
The day when joy will last forever
The pain will be taken from our midst forever
Everyone will be loved equally
Everyone will be embraced tightly
Just like a father hugs a child
In Jesus Christ, God provided relief!

Yeah, it's time for the Senate to wake up
It's time for the people to shake it off
It's time for kindness to take over (ah)
Yeah, it's time to believe more in the courts
To exorcise the mold from the prisons
To see our elders singing

(With your hands up high with me, Brazil!)
Olê, olê, olê, olê, olê
Sing, Brazil! (Where's the church?)
Olê, olê, olê, olê, olê
(That takes care of orphans and widows!)
Olê, olê, olê, olê, olê
(That walks in the communities!)
Olê, olê, olê, olê, olê
Wake up, Brazil!
