Rio... tanto sofrimento

Rio

tanto sofrimento

Tanta dor

Tanto amor

Tanta esperança

Tanta água

Tanta morte

Tanta solidariedade

Tanta vontade de viver, Tanta vontade de morrer

Tanta fome, Tanta sede, Tanta alegria

Tanto encontro, Tanto desencontro

Tanto choro

Tanto riso

Tanta lama

Tanto sangue

Tanta tristeza

Tanto e tanta

Nunca prevenção

E tanta falta de políticos

Só Deus

Rio

so much suffering

So much pain

Much love

So much hope

So much water

So much death

So much solidarity

So much will to live, So willing to die

So hungry, so thirsty, So much joy

Both meeting, both mismatch

Both crying

Both laugh

Muddy

Both blood

Sadness

And much much

Never prevention

And such a lack of political

Only God
