Favela

As the sun rises She opens up her hazel beautiful lies and Begins Her baby cries She picks him up and tells him beautiful lies Again She come round favela-la Hills of Santa Teresa Underneath the Redeemer And the sun in the sky She come round the favela-la Ask me e a beleza Underneath the Redeemer Where the hills come alive She works the favela night She works the favela night Favela She works the favela night And the wind blows She lives on lonely streets where nobody goes alone Just a young girl Born on the left side of this right-handed world She knows She come round favela-la Hills of Santa Teresa Underneath the Redeemer And the sun in the sky She come round favela-la Ask me e a beleza Underneath the Redeemer Where the hills come alive She works the favela night Favela She works the favela night Favela Deep in the colors and the streets Lost in the funk favela beats Prisioneira Dancing in the favela Safe in the Ipanema bays We raise a glass on holiday It's a lopsided world When you're a girl Born into nothing at all She come round favela-la Hills of Santa Teresa Underneath the Redeemer And the sun in the sky She come round the favela-la Ask me e a beleza Underneath the Redeemer Where the hills come alive She works the favela night Favela She works the favela night Favela She works the favela night
