Lyrics of Na palma da mão - O Rappa

Na palma da mão (original)

O negro pisou no topo do morro
Pegou sua viola e tocou pro povo
Pro povo do crime
Que foi chegando e colocando
As suas armas devagar no cho
O mesmo cho que guarda o sangue
O mesmo cho de correrias
O mesmo cho de tantas famlias
Que hoje batucam o mesmo som
Na palma da mo pra aliviar
O negro brilhou e ajudou
Aquelas almas distorcidas pela guerra
S com a viola, s com a voz
S com a viola suas idias
Onegro falou e falou alto
Inspirou uma calma
E misteriosamente alegre
Sufocando o pior dos bandidos
E em troca deixou lgrimas
Nos olhos do artista
Lgrimas, lgrimas
Na palma da mo pra aliviar
Hoje mesmo, hoje
Quando o barulho dos tiros sinalizam
O que acontece por l
Uma comunicao silenciosa
Se faz com a memria das armas no cho
Por algum momento
Ganhando outra misso

(translation)

The negro stepped on the top of the hill
He took his guitar and played for the people
For the people of crime
That was arriving and putting
Your weapons slowly on the ground
The same cho that holds the blood
The same cho of running around
The same floor as so many families
That today drum the same sound
In the palm of the hand to relieve
The black shone and helped
Those war-twisted souls
Only with the viola, only with the voice
Only with her violates her ideas
Onegro spoke and spoke loudly
inspired a calm
And mysteriously happy
Suffocating the worst of the bad guys
And in exchange, he left tears
In the eyes of the artist
tears, tears
In the palm of the hand to relieve
today, today
When the noise of gunshots signal
What happens for l
a silent communication
It is done with the weapons memory on the ground
for some time
winning another mission
