Full lyrics

Pode dizer que eu não presto

Que não presta o meu cantar

Meu canto não tem protesto

Meu canto é pra alegrar


Quem tem ódio não canta

E nem quero ouvir cantar

Muita vez a raiva é tanta

Que não pode nem falar

Eu por mim sou diferente

Tenho alegre o coração

Por isso eu canto contente

Meu canto é de louvação


Deseje o tempo de Pilatos

Que Jesus já protestava

Só que ele não cantava

Faltava às multidões

Desde lá que tem coisa

Que é preciso protestar

Mas não na minha toada

Meu canto é pra alegrar

Translation

You can say that I'm no good

That my singing is no good

My song has no protest

My song is to bring joy


Whoever has hate does not sing

And I don't even want to hear them sing

Many times the anger is so great

That they can't even speak

As for me, I am different

I have a joyful heart

That's why I sing happily

My song is of praise


Wish for the time of Pilatos

When Jesus already protested

Only he did not sing

He was missing for the crowds

Since then there are things

That need to be protested

But not in my melody

My song is to bring joy
