Música Urbana 2 Lyrics in English Legião Urbana
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Música Urbana 2 by Legião Urbana from Portuguese to English.
Em cima dos telhados as antenas de TV tocam música urbana
On top of the roofs, TV antennas play urban music
Nas ruas os mendigos com esparadrapos podres
In the streets, beggars with rotten bandages
Cantam música urbana
Sing urban music
Motocicletas querendo atenção às três da manhã
Motorcycles wanting attention at three in the morning
É só música urbana
It's just urban music
Os PMs armados e as tropas de choque vomitam música urbana
The armed police and riot squads vomit urban music
E nas escolas as crianças aprendem a repetir a música urbana
And in schools, children learn to repeat the urban music
Nos bares os viciados sempre tentam conseguir a música urbana
In bars, addicts always try to get the urban music
O vento forte, seco e sujo em cantos de concreto
The strong, dry, and dirty wind in concrete corners
Parece música urbana
Seems like urban music
E a matilha de crianças sujas no meio da rua
And the pack of dirty children in the middle of the street
Música urbana
Urban music
E nos pontos de ônibus estão todos ali
And at the bus stops, everyone's there
Música urbana
Urban music
Os uniformes, os cartazes
The uniforms, the posters
Cinemas e os lares
Cinemas and homes
Favelas, coberturas
Favelas, penthouses
Quase todos os lugares
Almost all places
E mais uma criança nasceu
And one more child was born
Não há mais mentiras nem verdades aqui
There are no more lies nor truths here
Só há música urbana
There's only urban music
Yeah, música urbana
Yeah, urban music
Oh oh, música urbana
Oh oh, urban music
Yeah, música urbana
Yeah, urban music
Música urbana, yeah
Urban music, yeah
