Original text with translation
Milton Nascimento
Negra voz deves a Jó
Numa igreja interior
Me falando de seu tempo
Conta a idade, conta o que restou
Onde os filhos que eu criei?
Vida presa no quintal
Me lembrando desse tempo
Vejo quem vem meu leito festejar
Três meninos nascendo no ventre negro
Sem cor
Meninos sentados no chão
Quem veio por eles buscar?
Hoje eu digo 83
Sem diamante, escravidão
Nem pergunto pelos filhos
Ligo o rádio, durmo no chão
Black voice you owe Job
In an indoor church
Telling me about your time
Count your age, count what's left
Where are the children that I raised?
Life trapped in the yard
Remembering that time
I see who comes to my bed to celebrate
Three boys being born in the black womb
Without color
Boys sitting on the floor
Who came for them?
Today I say 83
No diamond, slavery
I don't even ask about the children
I turn on the radio, sleep on the floor
