[intro]
Tivemos pra Janeiro uma promessa,
We had a promise for January,
Mas não querem honrar, que coisa é essa!!!
But they don't want to honor it, what is this!!!
[verse]
Se sentem a vontade pra voltar atrás,
They feel comfortable going back on their word,
Achando que aceitaremos sem lutarmos mais.
Thinking we will accept it without fighting anymore.
Não contam que a nossa força vem da união,
They don't count on our strength coming from unity,
Não sabem o que uma A D I ou Berçarista têm no coração.
They don't know what an ADI or a Nursery Assistant have in their hearts.
[pre-chorus]
Mas quem conhece nossa história vai nos apoiar
But whoever knows our history will support us
A classe que comanda vai ouvir porque o povo vai falar
The commanding class will listen because the people will speak
[chorus]
O povo vai falar,
The people will speak,
O povo vai falar,
The people will speak,
O povo vai falar,
The people will speak,
E quem comanda...
And whoever commands...
Vai ter que escutar!!!
Will have to listen!!!
