Favela

[Verse 1]

As the sun rises

She opens up her hazel, beautiful eyes

And begins

Her baby cries

She picks him up and tells him beautiful lies

Again

[Chorus]

She come from the favela-la

Hills of Santa Teresa

Underneath the Redeemer

And the sun in the sky

She come from the favela-la

Ask me e aí, beleza?

Underneath the Redeemer

Where the hills come alive

[Post-Chorus]

She works the favela night

She works the favela night

Favela

She works the favela night

[Verse 2]

And the wind blows

She lives on lonely streets where nobody goes alone

Just a young girl

Born on the left side of this right-handed world

She knows

[Chorus]

She come from the favela-la

Hills of Santa Teresa

Underneath the Redeemer

And the sun in the sky

She come from the favela-la

Ask me e aí, beleza?

Underneath the Redeemer

Where the hills come alive

[Post-Chorus]

She works the favela night

Favela

She works the favela night

Favela

[Bridge]

Deep in the colors and the streets

Lost in the funk favela beats

Prisioneira

Dancing in the favela

Safe in the Ipanema bays

We raise a glass on holiday

It's a lopsided world

When you're a girl

Born into nothing at all

[Chorus]

She come from the favela-la

Hills of Santa Teresa

Underneath the Redeemer

And the sun in the sky

She come from the favela-la

Ask me e aí, beleza?

Underneath the Redeemer

Where the hills come alive

[Post-Chorus]

She works the favela night

Favela

She works the favela night

Favela

She works the favela night
