Ruínas da Babilônia

Look at the suffering faces of these people, So many suffering people
Seeking a decent life, Seeking some peace in their lives
Mothers who suffer alone with their children
Poor and destitute
Parents who enslave themselves without even having
The milk and bread of your guaranteed
It's better not to have anyone to count on, than to count on someone, someone who just wants to take advantage
From the good faith of those in need, if they give something, they aim for something more
They are only inspired by their interests, Nothing, nothing, from the heart, they will have to give you
Raise your thoughts to the Highest
You have to have faith, you have to know how to give time to time
Within yourself you will find
The contained force of the firmament
And Jah will then provide for you, nothing, nothing that you need will be lacking

On the other side I see the arrogance of these ignoble gentlemen
That in good appearance hide their greed, all their indecency
Well cared for, masters of their riches, masters of many favors
From the easy advantages of power, lords of influence peddling
They share pleasantries and smiles at their dinners and pleasant gatherings
They thus disguise their plots and their venom
One day they will be naked before the truth and will no longer be so kind
They will not know how to hide their rottenness and their shame
They will inherit the ruins of Babylon
Gentlemen who are miserable, gentlemen of so many riches
They will inherit the ruins of Babylon
Even the ground will flee from under your feet, your greatness will crumble with them
