I only want to be happy
To walk relaxed in the favela where I was born
And to be able to have pride
And to have the consciousness that people have in your place
Faith in God... DJ!
I only want to be happy
To walk relaxed in the favela where I was born
And to be able to have pride
And to have the consciousness that people have in your place
But I only want
to be happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy
where I was born
and to be able to have pride
and to have the consciousness
That people have in your place
To the authorities, I never know what to do
With so much violence I am afraid of living
Since I live in a Favela and am very disrespected
Sadness and Happinesss here walk side by side
I make a prayer for a saint protector
But I am interrupted by gun shots
While the rich live in huge and beautiful houses
The poor are humiliated and abused in the favela
I cannot stand this wave of violence anymore
So I ask, authorities, for a little more competence
I only want to be happy
To walk relaxed in the favela where I was born
And to be able to have pride
And to have the consciousness that people have in your place
But I only want
to be happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy
where I was born
and to be able to have pride
and to have the consciousness
That people have in your place
These days we cannot even think of fun
Since there in the baile (funk party) they come to humiliate us
Staying there at the plaza where everything was so normal
Now it's turned into a place of violence
Innocent persons who don´t have anything
Are today losing their right to live
You´ll never see a postcard that shows a favela
You only see very pretty and beautiful landscapes
Those who go outside the favela feel longing
The *** comes here and doesn´t know the reality
He goes to Zona Sul (Rich Part of Rio) to get to know coconut milk
And the poor in the favela live being suffocated
There will be a new president, a new hope
I´ve suffered the storm, now I want some calm
The people have power, they only need to discover it
If they do nothing, it will just be like this here
I only want to be happy
To walk relaxed in the favela where I was born
And to be able to have pride
And to have the consciousness that people have in your place
But I only want
to be happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy
where I was born
and to be able to have pride
and to have the consciousness
That people have in your place
