Axé Acappella [English translation]

Have you stopped to notice?

Are you listening to this sound?

Echoing in the air

We must pay attention to it!

Get your sensors ready

So that you'll understand it

Stop the engines of the power plants

So that we'll be able to listen

Dum! Dum! Dum!

Its loud scream

A sound that causes pain, an extremely sick world

It bleeds instant profit but there's no apparent cure for it

In a remote alley we hear to a Saint's voice

And an a cappella axé incites the music

Have you stopped to notice?

Are you listening to this sound?

Echoing in the air

We must pay attention to it!

Get your sensors ready

So that you'll understand it

Stop the engines of the power plants

So that we'll be able to listen

Dum! Dum! Dum!

Its loud scream

Stop throwing confetti, putting ornaments, finding excuses

It's a war, tooth by tooth and only the fresh meat is torn

A singer with a rough voice screams alone in the crowd

And an a cappella axé incites the music

And if the music is played, it will kill people!

And if the music is played, people will shake!

Nothing more than just a river's dry will be left

A river in which flows a dark past's treat

While the man doesn't wake up

Stupid! How come?!

He strangles himself with the wire of his own tension

And an axé sang an a cappella

Is turning into a lounge song

I's a tear that aches, shattered dreams, the end of the line

Mortally wounded a wolf is forgotten by its pack

A silent God watches the holy Earth of ingratitude

And an a cappella axé incites the music
