From Paradise

Do Paraíso

From Paradise

Ela nasceuShe was born
Na terra dos riosIn the river land
Nasceu da mãe, nas mãos da mãeBorn of her mother, into her mother's hands
Era livre, como o rio era selvagemShe was free, as the river was wild
Era tão inocente,She was so innocent,
Uma criança tão lindaSuch a beautiful child

Então a levaram emboraThen they took her away
Do ParaísoFrom Paradise
Onde tudo era bonitoWhere everything was beautiful
E muito legalAnd very nice

Levaram-na emboraThey took her away
A língua da mãeHer mother's tongue
Deu umas palmadas nelaSlapped her around a little bit
Pra ensinar outra línguaTo teach her another one

Dentro e fora de instituiçõesIn and out of institutions
O que podiam fazer com essa criança?What could they do with this child
Onde estava a solução perfeita?Where was the neat solution
Não havia nada que pudessem fazerThere was nothing they could do
Então a entregaram à ruaSo they gave her to the street
E ela se juntou a todos os outros pés famintos e cansadosAnd she joined all the rest of the hungry and the tired feet

E a levaram emboraAnd they took her away
Do ParaísoFrom Paradise
Onde tudo era bonitoWhere everything was beautiful
E muito legalAnd very nice

Levaram-na emboraThey took her away
A língua da mãeHer mother's tongue
Deu umas palmadas nelaSlapped her around a little bit
Pra ensinar outra línguaTo teach her another one

E não nadam mais aquiAnd the don't swim here anymore
E não nadam mais aquiAnd the swim here anymore

Ela conheceu um garotoShe met a boy
Que meio que sabiaWho kind of knew
Algumas das coisas que ela estava passandoSome of the things that she was going through

Mas ele estava confusoBut he was confused
Então ele fugiuSo he ran away
Ela o encontrou de novoShe found him again
E aqui está ela hojeAnd here she is today

E a levaram emboraAnd they took her away
Do ParaísoFrom Paradise
Onde tudo é bonitoWhere everything is beautiful
E muito legalAnd very nice

Levaram-na emboraThey took her away
A língua da mãeHer mother's tongue
Deu umas palmadas nelaSlapped her around a little bit
Pra ensinar outra línguaTo teach her another one

Levaram-na embora do paraísoTook her away from paradise
Longe do paraísoAway from paradise
Longe... Longe... Longe do Paraíso...Away... Away... Away from Paradise...
