Deus Lhe Pague [English translation]

For the bread we eat, for the cold ground where we sleep

For the right to be born, for the concession to smile

For allowing me to breath, for allowing me to exist

God shall pay you

For allowing me to cry and the "see you around"

For the joke on the pub and the soccer to clap

For a crime to discuss and a samba to get distracted

God shall pay you

For the beach,the skirt, all the woman in here

For the rushed quick love, shaving and then leaving

For the beautiful sundays, soap operas, church and comics

God shall pay you

For the free drinking that we have to swallow

For the smoke and despair that we have to cough

For the scaffoldings, all edges, from which we have to fall

God shall pay you

For another agonizing day, to endure and watch

For the gritting of teeth, heard all over the city

For the demented scream, that allow us to escape

God shall pay you

For the fake old woman tears, to bless and curse us

For the flies that kiss and cover all of our bodies

For the final peace,that will finally redeem us

God shall pay you
