Favela

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-sa Underneath the Redeemer-mer And the sun in the sky She come from the favela-la Ask me e aí, beleza-za Underneath the Redeemer-mer 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 (oh) Just a young girl (just a young girl) Born on the left side of this right-handed world, she knows She come from the favela-la Hills of Santa Teresa-sa Underneath the Redeemer-mer And the sun in the sky She come from the favela-la Ask me e aí, beleza-za Underneath the Redeemer-mer 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 Dancin' 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 from the favela-la Hills of Santa Teresa-sa Underneath the Redeemer-mer And the sun in the sky She come from the favela-la Ask me e aí, beleza-za Underneath the Redeemer-mer Where the hills come alive She works the favela night Favela She works the favela night Favela She works the favela night
