Translation of the song Rosa de Hiroshima artist Ney Matogrosso

Pensem nas crianças

Think of those children

Mudas, telepáticas

Mute, telepathic

Pensem nas meninas

Think of those girls

Cegas, inexatas

Blind, inexact

Pensem nas mulheres

Think of those women

Rotas, alteradas

Tattered, altered

Pensem nas feridas

Think of those wounds

Como rosas cálidas

As warm roses

Mas, oh, não se esqueçam

But, oh, do not forget

Da rosa, da rosa

The rose, the rose

Da rosa de Hiroshima

The rose of Hiroshima

A rosa hereditária

The hereditary rose

A rosa radioativa

The radioactive rose

Estúpida e inválida

Stupid and useless

A rosa com cirrose

The cirrhosis rose

A anti-rosa atômica

The atomic anti-rose

Sem cor, sem perfume

With no color, no perfume

Sem rosa, sem nada

No rose, no nothing
