Eu Nasci Há Dez Mil Anos Atrás

One day, on a street in a magical city
I met an old wise man
His name was Raul
And he sang to me like this

I was born ten thousand years ago
And there's nothing in this world
That I don't know too much about

I saw Christ being crucified
I saw love being born and murdered
I saw the witches burning
To pay for their sins, I saw

I saw Moses crossing the Red Sea
I saw Muhammad falling to his knees on the ground
I saw Peter denying Christ three times
In front of the mirror

I saw the candles being lit for the Pope
I saw Babylon being wiped off the map
I saw Count Dracula sucking the fresh blood
And hiding behind the cape, I saw

I saw Noah's ark crossing the seas
I saw Solomon singing his psalms through the air
I saw Zumbi fleeing with the blacks to the forest
To the Quilombo dos Palmares

I saw the blood flowing from the mountain
When Hitler called all of Germany
And the soldier dreaming of his beloved
In a campaign bed
I read!

I read the sacred symbols of Umbanda
I was a child to be able to dance ciranda
And when everyone cursed the cold
I made the bed on the balcony

I was with the monkeys in the cave
I drank wine with the women in the tavern
And when the stone fell from the cliff
I also broke my leg
I also

I witnessed Rapunzel's love
I saw David's star shining in the sky
And for those who prove that I'm lying
I take off my hat

I was born ten thousand years ago
And there's nothing in this world
That I don't know too much about
