Favela (Letra)
As the sun rises
She opens up her hazel beautiful eyes and
Begins
Her baby cries
She picks him up and tells him beautiful lies
Again
She come from the Favela la
Hills of Santa Teresa
Underneath the redeemer
And the sun in the sky
She come from the Favela la
Asks me E ai beleza
Underneath the redeemer
Where the hills come alive
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 comes from the Favela
Deep in the colours 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 your a girl
Born into nothing at all
She come from the Favela la
Hills of Santa Teresa
Underneath the redeemer
And the sun in the sky
She come from the Favela la
Asks me E ai beleza
Underneath the redeemer
Where the hills come alive
She works the Favela night
