SADE
PEARLS
Pérolas
There is a woman in Somalia
Há uma mulher na Somália
Scraping for pearls on the roadside
Mendigando pérolas na estrada
There's a force stronger than nature
Há uma força maior do que o normal
Keeps her will alive
This is how she's dying
Esta é a forma como ela está morrendo
She's dying to survive
Don't know what she's made of
I would like to be that brave
She cries to the heaven above
There is a stone in my heart
Existe uma pedra no meu coração
She lives a life she didn't choose
And it hurts like brand-new shoes
E machuca como marcas de sapatos novos
Hurts like brand-new shoes
machuca como marcas de sapatos novos
There is a woman in Somalia
Há uma mulher na Somália
The sun gives her no mercy
O sol não lhe é misericordioso
The same sky we lay under
Burns her to the bone
Long as afternoon shadows
It's gonna take her to get home
Each grain carefully wrapped up
Pearls for her little girl
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
