Cesária Évora – Bondade E Maldade (English) Lyrics

The Lord said
To help one’s neighbors
As oneself
I have done so much in this world
And I have only received ingratitude

The Lord said
To help one’s neighbors
As oneself
I have done so much in this world
And I have only received ingratitude

Don’t speak ill
Of the one who showed compassion
And who did not hesitate
To try to relieve your pain

Brother, I held out my hand
To help you get back on your feet
So, why do you want to push me
Now that you’re standing

The Lord said
To help one’s neighbors
As oneself
I have done so much in this world
And I have only received ingratitude

The Lord said
To help one’s neighbors
As oneself
I have done so much in this world
And I have only received ingratitude

It’s time to stop these betrayals
Look at this situation attentively
Kindliness is no more worthy
Maliciousness is reigning

I don’t want to be mean
It’s against my humanity
Don’t reproach me anything
It’s against our brotherhood

Of the one who showed compassion

Brother, I held out my hand
To help you get back on your feet
So, why do you want to push me
Now that you’re standing

The Lord said
To help one’s neighbors
As oneself
I have done so much in this world
And I have only received ingratitude
