Elis Regina - "Roda" (Album "Elis", 1966)[subtitulado]

Elis Regina
Composição: Gilberto Gil e João Augusto

Roda

Meu povo, preste atenção na roda que eu te fiz
Quero mostrar a quem vem aquilo que o povo diz

Posso falar, pois eu sei, eu tiro os outros por mim
Quando almoço, não janto e quando canto é assim

- Agora vou divertir, agora vou começar
- Quero ver quem vai sair, quero ver quem vai ficar
- Não é obrigado a me ouvir quem não quiser escutar

Quem tem dinheiro no mundo quanto mais tem, quer ganhar
E a gente que não tem nada fica pior do que está

Seu moço, tenha vergonha, acabe a descaração
Deixe o dinheiro do pobre e roube outro ladrão

- Agora vou divertir, agora vou prosseguir
- Quero ver quem vai ficar, quero ver quem vai sair
- Não é obrigado a escutar quem não quiser me ouvir

Se morre o rico e o pobre, enterre o rico e eu
Quero ver quem que separa o pó do rico do meu

Se lá embaixo há igualdade, aqui em cima há de haver
Quem quer ser mais do que é, um dia há de sofrer

- Agora vou divertir agora vou prosseguir
- Quero ver quem vai ficar, quero ver quem vai sair
- Não é obrigado a escutar quem não quiser me ouvir

Seu moço, tenha cuidado com sua exploração
Se não lhe dou de presente a sua cova no chão

Quero ver quem vai dizer, quero ver quem vai mentir
Quero ver quem vai negar aquilo que eu disse aqui

- Agora vou divertir, agora vou terminar
- Quero ver quem vai sair, quero ver quem vai ficar
- Não é obrigado a me ouvir quem não quiser escutar

Agora vou terminar, agora vou discorrer
Quem sabe tudo e diz logo fica sem nada a dizer

Quero ver quem vai voltar, quero ver quem vai fugir
Quero ver quem vai ficar, quero ver quem vai trair

Por isso eu fecho essa roda, a roda que eu te fiz
A roda que é do povo onde se diz o que diz
onde se diz o que diz...
onde se diz o que diz...
onde se diz o que diz...

Circle (English translation by julianabenare)

People, pay attention to the circle that I made
I want to show for those who come What people say

I can tell, because I know, I take me as a paradigm to see others
When I did not eat dinner or lunch, When I sing it's like this

- Now I ask you, now I will talk
- Want to see who will exit, Want to see who will stay
- It's not obligated to listen to me Who does not want to hear

Who has more money in the world, the more he has, more wants to win
And we, who have nothing, become worse than we are

Hey, guy, be ashamed, stop this boldness
Let the money from the poor and steal another thief

- Now I ask you, now I will go on
- Want to see who will stay, want to see who will exit
- It's not obligated to listen to me Who does not want to hear

And the rich dies as the poor, bury the rich and I
Want to see who can separate the dust of the rich and mine

If there is equality underground, up, in here, there is, there must have
Who wants to be more than he is, one day will suffer

- Now I ask you, now I will go on
- Want to see who will stay, want to see who will exit
- It's not obligated to listen to me who does not want to hear

Hey, guy, be careful with your exploration
If you don't care, I give you a gift: your grave in the ground

Want to see who will say, want to see who will lie
Want to see who will deny what I said here

- Now I ask you, now I will finish
- Want to see who will stay, want to see who will exit
- It's not obligated to listen to me who does not want to hear

Now I will finish, now I will talk about
Who knows everything, says soon, and then has nothing to say

Want to see who will come back, want to see who will run away
Want to see who will stay, want to see who will betray

So I close this circle, the circle that I made
A circle that belongs to the people where one says what one (has to) say
where one says what one (has to) say ...
where one says what one (has to) say ...
where one says what one (has to) say ...

@julianabenare : Hi ! Yes, you really are cool! Coolness is not going to the club every Saturday night ;) Thank you so much for your accurate translation. I already included it in the info-section. (I hope that is okay!) Note that I modified a bit the last phrase (which was not understandable in English) ... is the meaning conserved in my version ?? Did you know the translation of Joel Sattler ? (from : wattpad . com /387295? p=43 a lbre translation, but correct?) muito obrigado, Juliana !
