When the Angels Cried
They killed Chico Méndez.
He was a defender and an angel
of all the Amazon people.
It was cold-blooded murder.
Collor de Mello knew it,
and so did the police.
When the angels cry,
rain falls on the village.
Rain falls on the bell tower.
Someone was killed.
An angel fell.
An angel died.
An angel has departed
and won’t return.
When the assassin was fleeing,
and Chico Méndez was dying,
the jungle was drowning in tears.
He left behind two lovely children,
a courageous wife,
and a jungle in agony.
When the angels cry
it is for each tree that dies -
each star that burns out.
Oh, no, no.
An angel fell.
An angel died.
An angel has departed
and won’t return.
An angel fell.
An angel died.
An angel has departed.
He left, flying away at dawn.
When the angels cry,
when the angels cry,
it will rain.
When the angels cry,
when the angels cry,
it will rain.
Huuuu aaaa ho... no..no..
Huuuu aaaa ho... no..no

Russia is waging a disgraceful war on Ukraine. Stand With Ukraine!
About translator
My main reason for adding another translation was to line up the text. A portion of the original lyrics were in the imperfect verb tense. My translation of that portion is also in the imperfect, although it doesn't sound that great in English.
