Bala Perdida

A few years ago, violence spread around here
We are dominated by fear and terror
Drug trafficking has taken another life
He took the one who always financed crime
The addict who didn't pay for what he consumed
And in front of the drug den, the shooting started, it's eating inside
Each day that passes is always the greatest fear
Terror spreads and within a home it claims another victim
A stray bullet hits a child who is in agony from the pain
She sees her life in front of her family seeming to be lost
I wish I could sleep properly
Because I have to wake up early
Under my bed
With my wife and children, I feed the hope of being able to live
With my family, a lifetime of peace without looking back
Never doubt, never worry
I protect my family as best I can
And the next day in the favela I see a bunch of bodies

A stray bullet, a body always finds
The state creates and the route does not kill
The police come and don't change anything
Operation mop up the ice that never ends, the police come and don't change anything
Operation never ends to dry ice

I would like to have an armored house
An armored suit and also an armored car to protect
Me and my family
From the violence that takes us by storm
Maybe then I can live in peace without worrying
With any violence that may plague us
I already go to bed fearing the worst and for that reason I already put on my jacket
Made of wood, I know that thinking like this is a huge mistake
But the war around here never ends
And that's the biggest problem and for one day my fear almost came true
A few days ago, I was almost hit by a stray bullet
That got lost in a shootout and ended up on my pillow
And it only didn't hit me because I was in the bathroom
We leave our home without knowing
If you go home safely, you can get there
And we inside our home
We don't know for sure if our story
It will end right here

A stray bullet, a body always finds
The state creates and the route does not kill
The police come and don't change anything
Operation never ends to dry ice

A stray bullet, a body always finds
The state creates and the route does not kill
The police come and don't change anything
Operation never ends to dry ice

The police come and don't change anything
Operation never ends to dry ice
That never ends
