Nenhum Direito A Menos Lyrics in English Paulinho Moska
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Nenhum Direito A Menos by Paulinho Moska from Portuguese to English.
Nesse momento de gritante retrocesso
In this moment of blatant regression
De um temerário e incompetente mau congresso
Of a reckless and incompetent bad congress
Em que poderes ainda mais podres que antes
In which powers even more rotten than before
Põem em liquidação direitos importantes
Put important rights on sale
Eu quero diante desses homens tão obscenos
I want before these men so obscene
Poder gritar de coração e peito plenos
To be able to shout with a full heart and chest
Não quero mais nenhum direito a menos
I don't want any less rights
Não quero mais nenhum direito a menos
I don't want any less rights
Nesse país em que se vende por ganância
In this country where greed sells
Direito à vida, à juventude, e à infância
The right to life, to youth, and to childhood
Direito à terra, ao aborto e à floresta
The right to land, to abortion, and to the forest
À liberdade, ao protesto, ao que nos resta
To freedom, to protest, to what remains for us
Eu grito fora Esses homens tão pequenos
I shout "out!" to these men so small
De interesses grandes como seus terrenos
With interests as big as their lands
Não quero mais nenhum direito a menos
I don't want any less rights
Não quero mais nenhum direito a menos
I don't want any less rights
Nessa nação onde se mata e trata mal
In this nation where they kill and mistreat
Mulher e pobre, preto e jovem, índio e tal
Women and the poor, Black and young, Indigenous and such
Onde nem lésbica, nem gay, nem bi, nem trans
Where neither lesbian, nor gay, nor bi, nor trans
São plenamente cidadãos e cidadãs
Are fully citizens
Não quero mais cantar meus versos mais amenos
I don't want to sing my milder verses anymore
A menos que antes seus direitos sejam plenos
Unless their rights are full first
Não quero mais nenhum direito a menos
I don't want any less rights
Não quero mais nenhum direito a menos
I don't want any less rights
Nesse Brasil da injustiça social
In this Brazil of social injustice
E de uma tal desigualdade sem igual
And of such unparalleled inequality
Queria ver os grandes lucros divididos
I'd like to see the big profits divided
E os dividendos afinal distribuídos
And the dividends finally distributed
Os bilionários concordando com tais planos
The billionaires agreeing with such plans
Se revelando seres realmente humanos
Revealing themselves as truly human beings
Não quero mais nenhum direito a menos
I don't want any less rights
Não quero mais nenhum direito a menos
I don't want any less rights
Nesse momento de tão pouca luz à vista
In this moment of so little light in sight
E tanto ataque ao que é direito e é conquista
And so much attack on what's a right and an achievement
Eu canto tanto desistência, o desencanto
I sing so much surrender, the disenchantment
Mas canto a luta, a rexistência, tanto quanto
But I sing the fight, the resistance, just as much
E quanto aqueles que ainda pensam que detém-nos
And as for those who still think they hold us
Eu canto e grito à pulmões e peito plenos
I sing and shout with full lungs and chest
Que não quero mais nenhum direito a menos
That I don't want any less rights
Não quero mais nenhum direito a menos
I don't want any less rights
Nenhum direito a menos
Not one less right
Nenhum direito a menos
Not one less right
Nenhum direito a menos
Not one less right

Did you like this lyrics translation?
retrocesso — setback / regression
Retrocesso translates to "setback" or "regression". It's a strong and formal word that isn't commonly found in everyday song lyrics, making it stand out.
In this song, Paulinho Moska uses it to describe a significant political and social regression in Brazil, highlighting a moment of losing previously gained rights. It perfectly encapsulates the song's theme of fighting against the erosion of fundamental rights.
