Mal Bicho
Mal Bicho
You who go around saying
that there are better and worse people
You who go around saying
what people ought to do (repeat from beginning of stanza)
Listen to what I'm singing to you,
to avoid confusion
What I'm singing is about peace.
What are you telling me about privileges,
about a sovereign race
Superiors, inferiors,
community of power!
How do you have the idea
that some are chosen
and others are for rejection,
desire for power....
Is your destiny bad
what marked your path?
the song that is brave
is a song forever.
As my grandmother said,
"Here, he who doesn't run, flies"
and there are so many on the planet
How can there be so many?
In school they taught us to memorize
the dates of battles,
but how little they taught us about love.
Discriminating, that is nothing good,
before the eyes of god we are all equal.
You are the one who wages wars,
gives unjust sentences,
the one who who loves violence,
who doesn't have a conscience.
Chorus:
Mal bicho
They all say that you are mal bicho,
that's how you look,
mal bicho
Why do you go around hurting
those who look different?
imposing positions
only with a firm hand, (instrumental bridge, then CHORUS)
you have a coat
others die of cold,
you are the one who goes around killing,
the one who goes around torturing. (CHORUS)
I'm not going...
to the wars,
to the violence,
to the injustices,
and to your greed.
I say no!
Peace in the world!
**"Mal Bicho" refers to someone with bad intent, who has a bad influence on the people around them, basically someone you want to avoid. Couldn't think of a good English translation that didn't sound lame.
