Bandido Com Razão Lyrics in English Zezé Di Camargo & Luciano
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Bandido Com Razão by Zezé Di Camargo & Luciano from Portuguese to English.
Ele não tem culpa, ele não deve nada
He's not to blame, he owes nothing
Ele é uma planta, tão frágil mal cuidada
He's a plant, so fragile, poorly cared for
Sua cabeça está a prêmio
His head has a bounty on it
Anjo do mal, anjo pequeno
Evil angel, little angel
Bandido com razão
Criminal with a reason
Ele não tem culpa, ele só quer a vida
He's not to blame, he just wants life
Ele é a vergonha da pátria esquecida
He's the shame of the forgotten homeland
Tem que roubar, tem que ser homem
He has to steal, he has to be a man
Sobreviver, matar a fome
Survive, kill the hunger
Salvar seu coração
Save his heart
Menino de rua, eu te conheço
Street boy, I know you
Dignidade não tem preço
Dignity has no price
Menino de rua quer ser gente
Street boy wants to be human
Menino pobre, tão carente
Poor boy, so needy
Pede uma chance pra viver
Asks for a chance to live
Menino de rua, eu te conheço
Street boy, I know you
Dignidade não tem preço
Dignity has no price
Menino manchete de jornal
Boy, newspaper headline
Neste país de Carnaval
In this Carnival country
Não tem comida pra você
There's no food for you
Menino de rua, eu te conheço
Street boy, I know you
Dignidade não tem preço
Dignity has no price
Menino de rua quer ser gente
Street boy wants to be human
Menino pobre, tão carente
Poor boy, so needy
Pede uma chance pra viver
Asks for a chance to live
Menino de rua, eu te conheço
Street boy, I know you
Dignidade não tem preço
Dignity has no price
Menino manchete de jornal
Boy, newspaper headline
Neste país de Carnaval
In this Carnival country
Não tem comida pra você
There's no food for you
Neste país de Carnaval
In this Carnival country
Não tem comida pra você
There's no food for you
Neste país de Carnaval
In this Carnival country
Falta comida pra você
There's no food for you

Carente translates to "needy" or "lacking". It's a poignant word that describes someone or something in a state of want or deprivation.
In the song, it's used to describe a "menino pobre, tão carente" (poor boy, so needy), highlighting the deep poverty and lack of basic necessities faced by street children. This word powerfully conveys the emotional and material emptiness experienced by the song's subject.
