Princesa Isabel
Song Lyrics
Onde está a liberdade,
Se a algema não se quebrou,
O negro quer felicidade,
O negro também quer ser doutor
Princesa Isabel, Princesa Isabel,
Liberdade do negro só tá no papel.
Princesa Isabel, Princesa Isabel,
Liberdade do negro só tá no papel.
Princesa Isabel, Princesa Isabel,
Onde está a liberdade,
Mas onde está a liberdade,
Se a algema não se quebrou,
O negro quer felicidade,
O negro também quer ser doutor
Princesa Isabel, Princesa Isabel,
Liberdade do negro só tá no papel.
Princesa Isabel, Princesa Isabel,
Liberdade do negro só tá no papel
English Translation
Where is the freedom
If the cuff is not broken?
The black man wants happiness,
The black man also wants to be
doctor
Princess Isabel, Princess Isabel,
Freedom of the black is only on
paper.
Princess Isabel, Princess Isabel,
Freedom of the black is only on
paper.
Isabel Princess, Isabel Princess,
Where is the freedom,
Where is the freedom
If the cuff is not broken?
The Black man wants happiness,
The black man also wants to be a
doctor
Princess Isabel, Princess Isabel,
Freedom of the black is only on
paper.
Princess Isabel, Princess Isabel,
Freedom of the black is only on
paper.
