lyrics

The river that drags everything is said to be violent.
But no one says violent the margins that opress it.

The river...

And it may take thousands of years.
But this river will change it’s course.

Will find it’s way.
Will meet the sea.
Opression will end sometime.
We gotta start taking stones off the way!

Our lifes are this river!

O Rio

O rio que arrasta tudo é dito ser violento.
Mas ninguém diz serem violentas as margens que o oprimem.

O rio...

Pode levar milhares de anos.
Mas esse rio vai mudar seu curso.

Vai encontrar o seu caminho.
Vai encontrar o mar.
A opressão vai terminar um dia.
Nós precisamos começar a tirar as pedras do caminho!

Nossas vidas são este rio!

* Opression is not an isolated phenomenon, it’s not a casuality. It is fruit of the capitalista economic system. Of the interest in keeping the dogmas that sustain things the way they are. Of a market that is not concerned about it’s effects and that drags everything that gets in it’s way... Any relevant change takes a big effort and persistance. Even though it is better get used to the fact that maybe we won’t live to see the results.

* A opressão não é um fenômeno isolado, não é uma casualidade. É fruto do sistema econômico capitalista. Do interesse na manutenção dos dogmas que sustentam as coisas como elas são. De um mercado que não tem nenhuma preocupação com os seus efeitos e que arrasta tudo que se coloca em seu caminho... Qualquer mudança relevante exige muito esforço e persistência. Mesmo assim talvez seja melhor nos prepararmos para o fato de que talvez não vamos viver para ver os resultados.
