Admirável Gado Novo

Oh, ox!Oh, boi!
You who are part of this massVocês que fazem parte dessa massa
That goes through the projects of the futureQue passa nos projetos do futuro
It's hard to have to walk so muchÉ duro tanto ter que caminhar
And give much more than receiveE dar muito mais do que receber

And have to show your courageE ter que demonstrar sua coragem
On the sidelines of what may seemÀ margem do que possa parecer
And see that all this machineryE ver que toda essa engrenagem
Is already feeling the rust eating itJá sente a ferrugem lhe comer

Hey, oh, oh, cattle lifeEh, oh, oh, vida de gado
Marked people, hey!Povo marcado, eh!
Happy people!Povo feliz!

Hey, oh, oh, cattle lifeEh, oh, oh, vida de gado
Marked people, hey!Povo marcado, eh!
Happy people!Povo feliz!

Outside, the weather is comfortableLá fora faz um tempo confortável
Surveillance takes care of the normalA vigilância cuida do normal
Cars hear the newsOs automóveis ouvem a notícia
Men publish it in the newspaperOs homens a publicam no jornal

And they run through the early morningE correm através da madrugada
The only old age that has comeA única velhice que chegou
They linger on the roadsideDemoram-se na beira da estrada
And start to count what's left!E passam a contar o que sobrou!
It's Brazil!É o Brasil!

Hey, oh, oh, cattle lifeEh, oh, oh, vida de gado
Marked people, hey!Povo marcado, eh!
Happy people!Povo feliz!

Hey, oh, oh, cattle lifeEh, oh, oh, vida de gado
Marked people, hey!Povo marcado, eh!
Happy people!Povo feliz!

Oh, oxOh, boi
The people flee from ignoranceO povo foge da ignorância
Despite living so close to itApesar de viver tão perto dela
And dream of better times gone byE sonham com melhores tempos idos
They contemplate this life in a cellContemplam essa vida numa cela

They hope for a new possibilityEsperam nova possibilidade
To see this world come to an endDe verem esse mundo se acabar
Noah's Ark, the airshipA arca de Noé, o dirigível
Don't fly, nor can they floatNão voam, nem se pode flutuar

Don't fly, nor can they floatNão voam, nem se pode flutuar
Don't fly, nor can they floatNão voam, nem se pode flutuar

Hey, oh, oh, cattle lifeEh, oh, oh, vida de gado
Marked people, hey!Povo marcado, eh!
Happy people!Povo feliz!

Hey, oh, oh, cattle lifeEh, oh, oh, vida de gado
Marked people, hey!Povo marcado, eh!
Happy people!Povo feliz!

Happy, happy, happyFeliz, feliz, feliz
Oh, ox, oh, ox, hey, oxOh, boi, oh, boi, eh, boi
