Mercy Blues – Cazuza

English adaptation of the lyrics “Blues da Piedade” by Louzada Copy:

For all the miserable who roam the world

the defeated.

The evil seeds that are wrongly sowed and born with an aborted soul.

To all the people who like to brood insignificant problems and always wanting what they can’t have.

For those who see the light but are unable to iluminate their mini-certainties.

Always counting money

incapable of changing with the full moon.

For those who don’t know how to love,

waiting for someone to fit their dream.

Like varicose veins that keep growing,

like bugs around a lamp.

For you we ask for mercy, lord have mercy.

For the coward and the ones with grimace on their faces.

Only for the weak

that made it on this Earth

but seem to have lost the trip entirely.

I want to sing the blues with the pastor and drums in the park.

Let’s all sing and ask for forgiveness.

For there is a huge fire under scattered rain.

We are all equal in disgrace.

Let’s all sing the Blues and ask for mercy.
