Translation of the song lyrics Bang-Bang - Os Paralamas Do Sucesso

Bang-Bang (original)

Se o sol pudesse ver
Tudo que ia acontecer
Talvez não nascesse aquele dia
Se as orações das mães
Tivessem sido ouvidas
Nada disso acontecia
Mas naquele dia até Deus se escondeu
Não quis ouvir pedidos de socorro
A voz da razão sumiu
Quando a polícia civil subiu no morro
Fogo sobre os dois irmãos
Nem mão nem contra-mão
É só sangue, terra e cocaína
A ferida rasga a terra e mostra um coração
Que sangra e se contamina
Mas naquele dia…

Bang-Bang (translation)

If the sun could see
Everything that was going to happen
Maybe that day wasn't born
If the mother's prayers
had been heard
none of that happened
But that day even God hid
I didn't want to listen to requests for help
The voice of reason is gone
When the civilian police climbed the hill
Fire on the two brothers
Neither hand nor against hand
It's just blood, dirt and cocaine
The wound rips the earth and shows a heart
That bleeds and contaminates itself
But that day...
