Deus Na Frente Lyrics in English Márcia Fellipe , MC Marks
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Deus Na Frente by Márcia Fellipe from Portuguese to English.
Já girei muita catraca de busão (de busão)
I've already turned many bus turnstiles (on a bus)
Hoje eu giro só volete de carrão
Today I only turn the steering wheel of a big car
Teve um dia que faltou até do pão
There was a day when even bread was missing
Hoje só vira de vidro com muão
Today it's only a glass with a million
Fracassar nunca foi minha opção
Failing was never my option
Deus na frente, muito foco na missão
God first, a lot of focus on the mission
Criticada já levei muito não
Criticized, I've already gotten many no's
Hoje na quebrada sou inspiração
Today in the hood I'm an inspiration
Falei pra minha mãe que eu ia ralar
I told my mom I was going to work hard
Pra ela não sofrer, pra ela não chorar
So she wouldn't suffer, so she wouldn't cry
Falei pra minha mãe que eu ia vencer
I told my mom I was going to win
Que o que faltou pra mim os netos dela vão ter
That what I lacked, her grandchildren will have
Falei pra minha mãe que eu ia ralar
I told my mom I was going to work hard
Pra ela não sofrer, pra ela não chorar
So she wouldn't suffer, so she wouldn't cry
Falei pra minha mãe que eu ia vencer
I told my mom I was going to win
Que o que faltou pra mim os netos dela vão ter
That what I lacked, her grandchildren will have
Se Deus é por nós, quem será contra nós?
If God is for us, who will be against us?

Did you like this lyrics translation?
catraca — turnstile
Catraca literally translates to "turnstile", like the kind you find on a bus or at a subway station. It's an interesting word because it's quite specific and not commonly featured in song lyrics.
In the song, the artist uses "Já girei muita catraca de busão" (I've spun many bus turnstiles) to represent a past life of hardship and relying on public transport. This contrasts sharply with her current success, where she now "gira só volante de carrão" (only spins the steering wheel of a big car), making catraca a symbol of her humble beginnings and journey to success.
