Rock In Rio 2011 - Song by Renato Russo (1960-1996), poet and vocalist from the band "Legião Urbana" (a band from the eighties), performed by banda "Capital Inicial". Que País é Esse: What kind of country is this. Tradução: Português → English= What kind of country is this? In the favelas, in the Senate, There's mess everywhere, No one respects our Constituition, But everybody believes in the progress of our nation, What kind of country is this? What kind of country is this? What kind of country is this? In the Amazon river , In Araguaia, Baixada Fluminense, Mato Grosso, Minas Gerais, and in the Northeast, everything's in peace, I'll rest when my death comes, But the bloodshed goes on and on, Staining papers, truthfull documents, To bosses and kingpins' relieve, I say: What kind of country is this? What kind of country is this? What kind of country is this? This 3th world thing, if it's just abroad mocking, let it alone, But Brazil will become rich! We'll earn thousands in money when we sell the souls of all our indians in an auction, What kind of country is this? What kind of country is this? What kind of country is this.

Song: Que país é esse: What kind of country is this?
Lyrics:
Nas favelas, no senado : In the favelas, in the Senate,
Sujeira pra todo lado: There's mess everywhere,
Ninguém respeita a constituição: No one respects our Constituition,
Mas todos acreditam no futuro da nação:But everybody believes in the progress of our nation,
Que país é esse? Que país é esse? Que país é esse? What kind of country is this,
No Amazonas, no Araguaia iá, iá,: In the Amazon river , in Araguaia,
Na Baixada Fluminense Mato Grosso, nas Gerais e no Nordeste tudo em paz:
Baixada Fluminense, Mato Grosso, Minas Gerais, and in the Northeast, everything's in peace,
Na morte eu descanso, mas o Sangue anda solto,Manchando os papéis, documentos fiéis: I'll rest when my death comes, But the bloodshed goes on and on Staining papers, truthfull documents,
Ao descanso do patrão: To bosses and kingpins' relieve,
Que país é esse? Que país é esse? Que país é esse? Que país é esse?
I say: What kind of country is this? What kind of country is this? What kind of country is this?
Terceiro mundo, se for Piada no exterior: This 3th world thing, if it's just abroad mocking, let it alone,
Mas o Brasil vai ficar rico: But Brazil will become rich,
Vamos faturar um milhão, Quando vendermos todas as almas dos nossos índios num leilão: We'll earn thousands in money, when we sell the souls of all our indians in a auction.
Que país é esse? Que país é esse? Que país é esse? : What kind of country is this?
