lyrics

Levante

Face a face. Dilacerando a pele.
A imperiosa lei do capital:
Riqueza num polo, miséria extrema no outro.
O assalto às consciências se encarrega de omitir a realidade.
Mas os injustiçados ainda a conhecem.

Levante, frente a frente, face a face.
Levante, de pé de pé!

Em pé, as vítimas da fome marcham.
Punhos cerrados ao alto, bandeiras hasteadas.
No olhar um novo horizonte. No coração explode a revolta.
Engravatados arrotam a paz social.
Enquanto caminham sob a carniça dos empobrecidos.

Levante, frente a frente, face a face
Levante, de pé de pé!

As hostes do estado se põem diante da multidão.
Mas a verdade do povo massacra o belíssimo.

Levante!

Palavras de ordem ecoam como uma peste revolucionária...
Palavras de ordem se alastram como uma peste revolucionária...

Levante!

Stand up  

Face to face.  Tearing the skin. 
The imperious law of capital: 
Wealth at one pole, extreme misery at the other. 
The assault on consciousnesses is in charge of neglecting reality. 
But the wronged ones still know it.  

Stand up. Face to face, face to face. 
Stand up, get up, get up!

  Standing, victims of hunger march. 
Fists in the air, flags flying. 
A new horizon lay ahead.
Heart of revolt explodes. 
Those in fine suits pay lip-service to social peace. 
While walking on the carcasses of the poor.  

Stand up. Face to face, face to face. 
Stand up, get up, get up!  

State legions are set before the crowd. 
But the truth of the people massacres all war-mongering.  

Stand up!  

Slogans echo like a revolutionary plague. 
Slogans spread like a revolutionary plague. 

 Stand up!
