Tema de "Os Inconfidentes"
Chico Buarque
Theme of 'The Conspirators'
Every time a just man shouts
An executioner comes to silence him
Those who are no good stay alive
Those who are good, they order to kill
Those who are no good stay alive
Those who are good, they order to kill
He worked for everyone
And see what happens to him
Of those he served
None of them know him anymore
When misfortune is deep
Who has compassion?
He worked for everyone
But who works for him?
His body falls
In this strange battle
His actions and his name
Where glory spreads them?
Here passed a man
(And how the people laughed!)
Who was reforming this world
From atop his horse
Here passed a man
(And how the people laughed!)
He spoke in front
And luck ran behind
Here passed a man
(And how the people laughed!)
Freedom, even if late
He promised us
Here passed a man
(And how the people laughed!)
However, in his passing
Everything was like joy
Here passed a man
(And how the people laughed!)
Freedom, even if late
He promised us
Every time a just man shouts
An executioner comes to silence him
Those who are no good stay alive
Those who are good, they order to kill
Those who are no good stay alive
Those who are good, they order to kill
