Why you crying favela
Are you running away
To stairways of sorrow
And rooftops of pain
Your broken down system
Has you trapped and afraid
I'm telling you hold your head up and sing
Your monarchs and mansions
On top of them hills
Have got you believing
You're living life still
But dreaming's just dreaming
Till reality's real
When ghettos be run like kingdoms on hills
Be free, be free, now oh, be free
Be free, be free, now oh, be free
Be free, be free, now oh, be free
Be free, favela oh, be free
Por que choras favela
Porque falta o pão
Se te faltou a água
Não te falta o perdão
Como a luz da criança
Tua esperança chegou
Vem brilhar sol da liberdade do amor
Be free, be free, now oh, be free (Ser livre, agora, seja livre)
Be free, be free, now oh, be free (Ser livre, agora, seja livre)
Be free, be free, now oh, be free (Ser livre, agora, seja livre)
Be free, favela, oh be free
Procuro e não te encontro
You're living in the shadows
Espero pela luz do sol
But I can see the hope of a light coming
Here in Babylon
They take our lives
Here in Babylon
They rob our rights
Here in Babylon
Where dreamers dream
Sing favela sing
Here in Babylon (Aqui na Babilônia)
They take our lives (Eu não vivo mais)
Here in Babylon (Aqui na Babilônia)
They rob our rights (Eu não vivo mais)
Here in Babylon (Aqui na Babilônia)
Where dreamers dream (Eu não vivo mais)
Sing favela sing
Sing favela sing
Be free, be free, now oh, be free
Be free, be free, now oh, be free
