Gente [English translation]

People look at the sky

People want to know the one

People are the place

For the one to wonder

For the stars to wonder if they are so many

Each star is surprised with its own explosion

People is something very good

People must be what is good

We must care

We must respect what is good

It's correct to say that the stars

Are in the eyes

Of someone who love has elected you

To love

Marina, Bethânia, Dolores,

Renata, Leilinha,

Suzana, Dedé,

Living people, shining stars

In the night

People want to eat

People want to be happy

People want to breathe air through their nose

No, my friend, never betray

This strength

This strength that lives in your heart

People doing laundry

People kneading dough

Poor people tearing off life

With their hands

In the heart of the jungle people want

To go on

They want to last, they want to grow,

They want to shine

Rodrigo, Roberto, Caetano,

Moreno, Francisco

Gilberto, João

People are meant to shine

Not to starve to death

People of this planet of blue

Skies

People, I don't get it, people, nothing

Has seen us

People, mirror for the stars

Reflection of their splendor

If the stars are so many

Only love then

Maurício, Lucila, Gildásio,

Ivonete, Agripino

Gracinha, Zezé

People, mirror for life

Sweet mystery
