500 Anos

For 500 years
I have no life
For 500 years
The soul is wounded
I have no doubts, doubts
My behavior is escape

For 500 years
We live in lies
For 500 years
It's the same lie
I have no doubts, doubts
My behavior is escape

The Indian's body falls
The black's body dances
The sword rises
Piercing the children
The Indians in disgrace
The blacks in missteps

For 500 years
I'm out of the plans
For 500 years
I've been begging
And even so the crumbs
And even so they are crumbs
My heart tightens
My heart awakens
My heart desires
My heart fights
For my freedom
Total in this city

For 500 years I
Work for the whites
For 500 years I
Living in this deception
Hard survival
In pure resistance
I want evidence
I want the evidence
I am the proof
I am the proof myself
