Eu Só Quero É Ser Feliz

I just want to be happy
Walk peacefully in the favela where I was born, yeah
And be able to be proud
And have the awareness that the poor have their place
Faith in God, DJ

I just want to be happy
Walk peacefully in the favela where I was born, yeah
And be able to be proud
And have the awareness 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 be proud
And have the awareness that the poor have their place

My dear authority, I don't know what to do anymore
With so much violence, I'm afraid to live
Because I live in the favela and I'm very disrespected
Sadness and joy walk side by side here
I say a prayer to a protective saint
But I'm interrupted by machine gun shots
While the rich live in a big and beautiful house
The poor are humiliated, disrespected in the favela
I can't take this wave of violence anymore
I just ask the authorities for a little more competence

I just want to be happy
Walk peacefully in the favela where I was born, huh
And be able to be proud
And have the awareness 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 be proud
And have the awareness that the poor have their place

Fun nowadays, we can't even think about it
Because even at the parties, they come to humiliate us
It used to be so normal in the square
Now violence has become a 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 highlighting a favela
I only see a very beautiful and beautiful landscape
Those who go abroad from the favela miss it
The foreigner comes here and doesn't know the reality
Goes to the south zone to try coconut water
And the poor in the favela are struggling
The presidency has changed, a new hope
I suffered in the storm, now I want prosperity
The people have the strength, they just need to discover
If they don't do anything there, we'll do everything from here

I just want to be happy
Walk peacefully in the favela where I was born, yeah
And be able to be proud
And have the awareness 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 be proud, yeah
The poor have their place

Fun nowadays, forget it
Because even at the parties, they come to humiliate us
It used to be so normal in the square
Now violence has become a 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 highlighting a favela
I only see a very beautiful and beautiful landscape
Those who go abroad from the favela miss it
The foreigner comes here and doesn't know the reality
Goes to the south zone to try coconut water
And the poor in the favela, struggling
The presidency has changed, a new hope
I suffered in the storm, now I want prosperity
The people have the strength, they just need to discover
If they don't do anything there, we'll do everything from here

I just want to be happy
Walk peacefully in the favela where I was born, yeah
And be able to be proud
And have the awareness 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 be proud
And have the awareness that the poor have their place
And be able to be proud
