I'm not led, I lead!

Today's a local holiday... it's São Paulo's 458th birthday...

"A new day started

The ones that were going are now coming back,

It's time to arrive.

By metro I'll get there first,

If time's money

Great, I'll make some.

Always fast on the street,

As someone who knows what they want.

The Paulista goes on

Ready for better or worse.

The city does not wake up,

it just sets its position.

Because everything is repeated,

It's seven, and at seven

The crowd explodes.

Iron door lifting...

Everybody seems to be running...

They're not running '"from" they're  running "to"

To make São Paulo bigger!"
