Meu País Lyrics in English Zezé Di Camargo & Luciano

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Meu País by Zezé Di Camargo & Luciano from Portuguese to English.
Aqui não falta Sol
Here there's plenty of sun
Aqui não falta chuva
Here there's plenty of rain
A terra faz brotar qualquer semente
The land makes any seed sprout
Se a mão de Deus
If God's hand
Protege e molha o nosso chão
Protects and waters our land
Por que será que 'tá faltando pão?
Why is there a lack of food?
Se a natureza nunca reclamou da gente
If nature never complained about us
Do corte do machado, a foice, o fogo ardente
About the axe's cut, the scythe, the burning fire
Se nessa terra tudo que se planta dá
If everything planted in this land grows
Que é que há, meu país?
What's going on, my country?
O que é que há?
What's going on?
Se nessa terra tudo que se planta dá
If everything planted in this land grows
Que é que há, meu país?
What's going on, my country?
O que é que há?
What's going on?
Tem alguém levando lucro
Someone's making a profit
Tem alguém colhendo o fruto
Someone's reaping the fruit
Sem saber o que é plantar
Without knowing what it is to plant
'Tá faltando consciência
There's a lack of conscience
'Tá sobrando paciência
There's too much patience
'Tá faltando alguém gritar
Someone needs to shout
Feito um trem desgovernado
Like a runaway train
Quem trabalha 'tá ferrado
Whoever works is f*cked
Nas mãos de quem só engana
In the hands of those who only deceive
Feito mal que não tem cura
Like an incurable evil
Estão levando à loucura
They're driving us crazy
O país que a gente ama
The country we love
Se a natureza nunca reclamou da gente
If nature never complained about us
Do corte do machado, a foice, o fogo ardente
About the axe's cut, the scythe, the burning fire
Se nessa terra tudo que se planta dá
If everything planted in this land grows
Que é que há, meu país?
What's going on, my country?
O que é que há?
What's going on?
Se nessa terra tudo que se planta dá
If everything planted in this land grows
Que é que há, meu país?
What's going on, my country?
O que é que há?
What's going on?
Tem alguém levando lucro
Someone's making a profit
Tem alguém colhendo o fruto
Someone's reaping the fruit
Sem saber o que é plantar
Without knowing what it is to plant
'Tá faltando consciência
There's a lack of conscience
'Tá sobrando paciência
There's too much patience
'Tá faltando alguém gritar
Someone needs to shout
Feito um trem desgovernado
Like a runaway train
Quem trabalha 'tá ferrado
Whoever works is f*cked
Nas mãos de quem só engana
In the hands of those who only deceive
Feito mal que não tem cura
Like an incurable evil
Estão levando à loucura
They're driving us crazy
O país que a gente ama
The country we love
Feito mal que não tem cura
Like an incurable evil
Estão levando à loucura
They're driving us crazy
O Brasil que a gente ama
The Brazil we love

Did you like this lyrics translation?

desgovernado — ungoverned / out of control

Desgovernado translates to "ungoverned" or "out of control." It's a strong and evocative word that paints a vivid picture of chaos and lack of direction.

In the song, it's used to describe a "trem desgovernado" (an out-of-control train), symbolizing the country's situation where workers are suffering at the hands of those who deceive. This powerful metaphor makes the word particularly impactful and memorable in the context of the lyrics.
