The Opener

A Primeira

The Opener

Eles sabiam que não daria certo desde começo
They knew it couldn't happen from the start
A família dela sempre iria dizer que nunca iria durar
Her family would always say that this would never last
Mas o coração quer o que o coração quer
But the heart wants what the heart wants
E é claro que eles tiveram que tentar
And of course they had to try
Segredos e um amor proibido
Secrets and forbidden love
Porque ele era negro e ela era branca
For he was black and she was white

Não havia nada a se aceitar
There was nothing really to accept
Eles eram jovens e eles ainda mantiveram
They were young and they still kept
Seu relacionamento secreto atrás de portas fechadas
Their secret relationship behind closed doors
Ela deu a ele o que uma vez era apenas dela
She gave him what was once just hers
Ele tomou todas as suas flores
He took all of her flowers
Desta vez era diferente, não era só mais um ponto no placar
This time it was different from just another score

Mas o coração quer o que o coração quer
But the heart wants what the heart wants
E é claro que eles tiveram que tentar
And of course they had to try
Segredos e um amor proibido
Secrets and forbidden love
Porque ele era negro e ela era branca
For he was black and she was white
A mãe dela não conseguia entender
Her mother couldn't understand
Ela era de uma época diferente
She was from another time

Ela fez o menino ser preso
She had the boy arrested
E acusado de outro crime
And charged with another crime
O crime foi amor, disse ele ao juiz
The crime was love he told the judge
Ele nunca iria desistir dela
He'd never give her up
Sua sentença foi injusta
His sentencing was unjust
Outra história estragada pelo racismo, racismo, racismo, racismo
Another story fucked by racism, racism, racism, racism

Insulto social e racial
Social and racial taunt
Essas foram as falhas do nosso sistema
This was our systems flaw
Porque você não pode deixar isso para lá?
Why can't you let this be?
É amor quando o coração corre livremente
It's love when hearts run free
E quem é você para decidir que ele deve se afastar
And who are you to say keep him away
O rico, o mesmo
The rich the same
Exceto por você, não há lucro algum nisso
Except you have nothing left to gain
Só tudo a perder
Just everything to lose
Ele foi abatido no tribunal
He was gunned down at the courthouse
Eram 8h05
The time was five past eight
Ela o segurou em seus braços sangrentos
She held him in her bloody arms

Suas últimas e breves palavras foram: Parem com o ódio
Her last few words were: Stop the hate
Parem com o ódio
Stop the hate
Parem com o ódio
Stop the hate
Parem com a merda do ódio!
Stop the fucking hate!
Eles sabiam que não daria certo desde começo
They knew it couldn't happen from the start
