Cuando los ángeles lloran [English translation]

They killed Chico Méndez

he was a defender and an angel

of the whole Amazon.

He died in cold blood

Collor de Mello knew it

and so did the police.

When angels cry

rain falls upon the village

rain falls over the bell tower

someone has died.

An angel has fallen

an angel has died

an angel has left

and won't come back.

When the murderer was getting away

Chico Méndez was dying

the jungle was drowning in sorrow.

He left two beautiful offspring

a courageous wife

and a jungle in agony

When angels cry

it's for each tree that dies

and for each star that goes dim

Oh...no...no

An angel has fallen

an angel has died

and angel has left

and won't come back

An angel has fallen

an angel has died

an angel has left

he left flying at dawn

When angels cry

When angels cry

it will rain
