Punk da Periferia

Gilberto Gil Gilberto Gil

Punk from the Hood

From the wounds
That poverty creates
I’m the pus
I’m what’s left
For the vultures
Pus for that reason
This ragged jacket
I made on my face
This makeup, dust and grime
I wanted to bring
Our misery to light...

I’m a punk from the hood
I’m from Freguesia do Ó
Oh! Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh!
Here for you guys!
I’m from Freguesia...(2x)

Having hair
Like a Mohawk Indian
I love it!
Knowing that
We’ll go down the drain
Satisfies!
You’ll have a priest
To say the mass
Ten minutes before
Turning to smoke
We’ll take over
The Peace Square...

I’m a punk from the hood
I’m from Freguesia do Ó
Oh! Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh!
Here for you guys!
I’m from Freguesia...(2x)

I screw trash
I like junk
I feel sorry
For the vain hope
Of my aunt
Of grandma
Worn out
The powers of science
Worn out
All our patience
Behold, this city
Is just a sewer...

I’m a punk from the hood
I’m from Freguesia do Ó
Oh! Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh!
Here for you guys!
I’m from Freguesia...(5x)
