Metrópole Lyrics in English Legião Urbana
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Metrópole by Legião Urbana from Portuguese to English.
É sangue mesmo não é Merthiolate
It's real blood, it's not Merthiolate
E todos querem ver
And everyone wants to see
E comentar a novidade
And comment on the news
É tão emocionante um acidente de verdade
A real accident is so exciting
'Tão todos satisfeitos
Everyone's satisfied
Com o sucesso do desastre
With the success of the disaster
Vai passar na televisão
It'll be on television
Vai passar na televisão
It'll be on television
Por gentileza aguarde um momento
Please wait a moment
Sem carteirinha, não tem atendimento
No service without a card
Carteira de trabalho assinada sim senhor
Signed work permit, yes sir
Olha o tumulto façam fila por favor!
Look at the commotion, please form a line!
Todos com a documentação
Everyone with their documents
Todos com a documentação
Everyone with their documents
Quem não tem senha, não tem lugar marcado
Whoever doesn't have a token doesn't have a reserved spot
Eu sinto muito, mas já passa do horário
I'm very sorry, but it's already past the time
Entendo seu problema, mas não posso resolver
I understand your problem, but I can't solve it
É contra o regulamento, está bem aqui, pode ver
It's against regulations, it's right here, you can see
Ordens são ordens
Orders are orders
Ordens são ordens
Orders are orders
Ordens são ordens
Orders are orders
Ordens são ordens
Orders are orders
Ordens são ordens
Orders are orders
Ordens são ordens
Orders are orders
Em todo caso já temos sua ficha
Anyway, we already have your file
Só falta o recibo comprovando residência
We just need the receipt proving residency
Pra limpar todo esse sangue, chamei a faxineira
To clean all this blood, I called the cleaning lady
E agora eu já vou indo, se não perco a novela
And now I'm leaving, or I'll miss the soap opera
E eu não quero ficar na mão
And I don't want to be left in the lurch
E eu não quero ficar na mão
And I don't want to be left in the lurch
E eu não quero ficar na mão
And I don't want to be left in the lurch
E eu não quero ficar na mão
And I don't want to be left in the lurch

carteirinha — ID card / membership card
Carteirinha is a diminutive of carteira (wallet or ID card). It specifically refers to a small identification card, often a membership card or a student ID.
In the context of "Metrópole," the word highlights the bureaucratic and impersonal nature of urban life, where access to services like medical attention is denied without the proper carteirinha. It's a poignant detail that underscores the song's critique of societal indifference and the dehumanizing aspects of modern city living.
