Eles sabiam que não daria certo desde começo They knew it couldn't happen from the start A família dela sempre iria dizer que nunca iria durar Her family would always say that this would never last Mas o coração quer o que o coração quer But the heart wants what the heart wants E é claro que eles tiveram que tentar And of course they had to try Segredos e um amor proibido Secrets and forbidden love Porque ele era negro e ela era branca For he was black and she was white
Não havia nada a se aceitar There was nothing really to accept Eles eram jovens e eles ainda mantiveram They were young and they still kept Seu relacionamento secreto atrás de portas fechadas Their secret relationship behind closed doors Ela deu a ele o que uma vez era apenas dela She gave him what was once just hers Ele tomou todas as suas flores He took all of her flowers Desta vez era diferente, não era só mais um ponto no placar This time it was different from just another score
Mas o coração quer o que o coração quer But the heart wants what the heart wants E é claro que eles tiveram que tentar And of course they had to try Segredos e um amor proibido Secrets and forbidden love Porque ele era negro e ela era branca For he was black and she was white A mãe dela não conseguia entender Her mother couldn't understand Ela era de uma época diferente She was from another time
Ela fez o menino ser preso She had the boy arrested E acusado de outro crime And charged with another crime O crime foi amor, disse ele ao juiz The crime was love he told the judge Ele nunca iria desistir dela He'd never give her up Sua sentença foi injusta His sentencing was unjust Outra história estragada pelo racismo, racismo, racismo, racismo Another story fucked by racism, racism, racism, racism
Insulto social e racial Social and racial taunt Essas foram as falhas do nosso sistema This was our systems flaw Porque você não pode deixar isso para lá? Why can't you let this be? É amor quando o coração corre livremente It's love when hearts run free E quem é você para decidir que ele deve se afastar And who are you to say keep him away O rico, o mesmo The rich the same Exceto por você, não há lucro algum nisso Except you have nothing left to gain Só tudo a perder Just everything to lose Ele foi abatido no tribunal He was gunned down at the courthouse Eram 8h05 The time was five past eight Ela o segurou em seus braços sangrentos She held him in her bloody arms
Suas últimas e breves palavras foram: Parem com o ódio Her last few words were: Stop the hate Parem com o ódio Stop the hate Parem com o ódio Stop the hate Parem com a merda do ódio! Stop the fucking hate! Eles sabiam que não daria certo desde começo They knew it couldn't happen from the start
