The lyrics go like this:
In the new time
Despite the punishments
We are grown up,
We are attentive,
We are more alive
To help us, to help us, to help us
In the new time,
Despite the dangers
Of the most brute force,
Of the frightening night,
We are in the fight
To survive, to survive, to survive
So that our hope
Is more than vengeance
That it always be a path
That is left as an inheritance
EDIT: the original translation I posted shifted stuff around and (I think) made people miss the connection between the verses 'in spite of dangers / of the most brute force' which would kinda make it seem that force was maybe being glorified from then on. I also changed the title to make it more explicit.
Basically it's a song about an impending general improvement that was hoped for after the fall of the brazilian military junta. Parallels being likely drawn with the end of unipolarity.
it is fine, like this song is written ambigous on purpose, like one of the more famous anti dictatorship songs is calice for example, and the whole bit is that it says "pai afasta de mim esse cálice, de vinho tinto de sangue" which if you translated would be like "Father, keep away this chalice, of blood red wine." which is dramatic but not anti dictatorship but in portuguese cale-se means shut up and it sounds a lot like cálice so you could read this kinda like "father keep this silence away from me, (this silence) of red blood wine" which is a really clever song, but it really makes a lot more sense in portuguese than in english. so don't worry, this is normal you couldn't know
