Apartheid (cotia)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Antigamente
o negro era acorrentado
vivia escravizado
sem ter paz na sua vida
E de repente
acabava a escravidão
o negro é solto em liberdade
sem ter muita informação
Mas e agora
o que é que eu vou fazer
eu tenho que sobreviver
e não sei ler nem escrever
Vou trabalhar no cais
para o meu filho estudar
quem sabe algum dia
conseguir se afirmar
Depois de tanto sofrimento
vejo que tudo foi em vão
pois o negro é mau olhado
pela discriminação
Ô vejam só a minha terra
que eu não tenho mais direito
esse tal de Apartheid
só aumenta o preconceito
Isso que é a liberdade
a maneira de dizer
eu agora sou escravo
de um outro tipo de poder
