Full lyrics

Acorda, meu povo

Acorda que a nova fase chegou

(coro repete)


Trazendo alegria,

Felicidade, paz e amor

(coro repete)


Eu que andava neste mundo de ilusão

Em confusão, sem saber porque sofria,

Eu me julgava um tremendo "sabichão",

Mas no entanto nem meu "eu" não definia.

Translation

Wake up, my people

Wake up, for the new phase has arrived

Wake up, my people

Wake up, for the new phase has arrived


Bringing joy,

Happiness, peace and love

Bringing joy,

Happiness, peace and love


I who walked in this world of illusion

In confusion, not knowing why I suffered,

I considered myself a tremendous "know-it-all",

But in fact, I couldn't even define my own "self".
