Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Um Bom Lugar by Sabotage from Portuguese to English.

Hahahahahahaha!

Intro

I'm Sabotage

A good place is built with humility

Just remember, it's your bro Sabotage here

I'll go on without scheming, I'll honor, prove it

In Brooklin, I'm always there

So I'll keep going, with God, at last

Verse 1

I don't know what's up, if they see me, they back off

Thirty guys on foot from Piolho coming down Conde, it's boiling

It flashes and drives you crazy, break only with heavy guns

Hell in masses, assaulting my hood, enough!

I recorded it and came to charge, good blood

Good ideas, whoever's got 'em won't take from anyone

I meditated, dropping a sound with the Fundão brothers

I head back to Canão, if cops show, I hide the big one

Rap is the sound, though up on the hill it's only lunatics

Unity never ends, gonna slack? Get involved, bro

Have you heard your kids say they wanna enjoy rap?

The beat empowers, never forgets

Who finishes is the master, enough

Whoever went far comes back humble, fought to achieve, strong pain

You gotta testify and not return, messed up

Welcome to hell, it's rare here, I'm serious

Sins of the antichrist, immortal dirty game, yo, man!

Go to battle, try your luck, be strong

Only destiny decides here

Pauleca, Bulinho, just longing

They lived life round here, heads held high

No lies, with cunning, they gave me a life lesson

A good place is built with humility

Just remember, it's your bro Sabotage here

I'll go on without scheming, I'll honor, prove it

In Brooklin, I'm always there

So I'll keep going, with God, at last

Verse 2

Two simple guys, they liked to listen and learn

Till tragedies, for sure, and here's the thing

Always like that, Machiavellian

And evil's felt here, watch out, it's deceit, the fuse

Two thousand degrees is being a survivor and never a scumbag's fan

The struggle never equals the experience

From Santo Amaro to Pirituba, the poor suffer but live

The key is always having an answer for whoever inflicts

In a blitz the law treats the poor like a scoundrel

Police don't always respect anyone here

They storm your house, with punches or whispers, or you know

Evil, one of their lies, ten truths

Moments, witness is respect, like a safe

It only takes the strong, children of the wind, a super-man

There, every time there's a dropout behind the post

When it flares he's able to snitch his brother to the cops

Run, jump out, the vaps don't get involved, walks alone

Down south, respect is law too, better

Like wood, a slingshot needs a fork

Rap is militia, a family member, with one fixed idea

That reaches the majority who still believe

In plan B, the outskirts

Today who practices knows that's what connects

Because it turns, turns, turns

Tune into the tape, rascals, suckers

They're plotted up on the hill

From what they said they can shoot

Then they might give first aid too

Open your eyes, the lice guy

There's always one of ours, bro

The enemy has an Astra, a ride

A Blazer and they also have bikes

It's south side, Canão, my hood

I drove and left no trail

Word is, they framed me

Twelve bags on my breath

But in the hood I grab my skinny

I came in faith, in faith I'll go on

God forbid I'm in the cops' sights, but dude

I don't stay, don't play, don't daydream

Fear, I only see wreckage

Of the poor who wake up with hate

An angel from heaven can't be a defendant

Who comes from the streets doesn't play easy

If Trinity was born here he lived in Brooklin

I wanna see more, I want everyone

Yeah, I wanna see the bros

But if it's to trade ideas with the bros

Even better for me, Osasco's respected

I light a joint in Santo Antônio there

If I roll up there

Anderson Franja on the front line

Good to smoke the good stuff at Atlético

Packed house, headbanging

Makes presence and difference

And represents what is happiness

Many faithful bros and the sound of Xis

That's what it says: The bros and the girls

Let's shake it up, bum

The second in the air comes to crack

Just dust

It went down and I danced too, like crazy blacks

That's how it is, a horror vibe

Give me a cigarette, please

Man, it's hot

Sweat drips, we forget what happens

All the homies on time

Don't delay, pass the ball

And enjoy some rap

It commits

Many bros break-dancing

Spinning in the middle of us, get it?

It's attractive!

That's a lesson for me

As inspiration, important, yeah!

Not just anyone keeps going

And dances a good break

RZO is our tag, represents everything I see

The graffiti on the wall already defends a right

Like that!

That's how it is

You gotta put faith, not back off

Bet on what's real, not on the suckers

I see the hustle every day

Who believes, not just today

In São Bento, I remember

I watched

Couldn't resist

Went back freestyling on the bus

Like a computer

Tu tu tu

A good place is built with humility

Just remember, it's your bro Sabotage here

I'll go on without scheming, I'll honor, prove it

In Brooklin, I'm always there

So I'll keep going, with God, at last

Surviving in hell, obsession's the alternative

I want the right side, Brooklin South, I want peace

I prosper, I see an end to abandonment

Let it roll, nobody here was born owned

They're there, but for now I see many mothers crying

Some stopping, working or recovering

From eternal sleep, like Rafinha and Adriano

Double miracle, deliverance comes to the bros

You gotta have faith, yeah, you gotta persist

Humble, only this way to progress, at last

I wanna gather, yeah, with the bros

Who protested prejudice, that way

I know I'll draw the plans

Sing for the girls and the bros

I don't hide, I get emotional

Getting up, as it should be

Here comes the cops, get off the track, 'hasta la vista, baby'

Rolling deep, the key's keeping God in mind

Away from that and two clips, some don't need it, get it

Sonic cyclone, agile, hedgehog and tough

Brooklin South, Canão, the survivor acts, acts, acts

I'm Sabotage, a good place

Place, place, place, place

A good place

A good place, place

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

SONG MEANING

**Sabotage turns his own life story into a movie-like rap in “Um Bom Lugar”. From the first laugh to the last echo he moves through the streets of Brooklin (São Paulo), pointing out police abuse, gang tensions and daily hustles while saluting fallen friends and rap crews. The hook - “Um bom lugar se constrói com humildade” - repeats like a mantra, reminding listeners that a “good place” is built with respect, unity and faith, not with betrayal or violence. In rapid-fire verses he name-drops neighborhoods, friends and hip-hop collectives to prove that music, graffiti and breakdance can glue a fragmented community together.

Even when he paints scenes of chaos - sirens, raids, heavy arms - Sabotage never sounds defeated. He threads hope through every bar: trust God, stay humble, keep learning, protect your own. By mixing street slang with spiritual reflections, he invites us to witness the raw reality of Brazilian periferia and still believe in better days. The song is both a survival guide and a love letter to his barrio, showing that rap can be a shield, a megaphone and a roadmap to “a good place.”
