Expresso 2222

The Express 2222 started to circulate
That leaves directly from Bonsucesso and then
The Express 2222 started to circulate
From Central do Brasil
That leaves directly from Bonsucesso
To after the year 2000

They say there are many people from now
Advancing, heading there
To 2001 and 2 and beyond
To where this road of time will lead
Will lead
Will lead, girl, will lead

According to those who have traveled on the Express
Around the year 2000 is the
Final station of the life journey
In the motherland conceived
Of wind, fire, water, and salt
Of water and salt, of water and salt
Oh, girl, of water and salt

The Express 2222 started to circulate
That leaves directly from Bonsucesso and then
The Express 2222 started to circulate
From Central do Brasil
That leaves directly from Bonsucesso
To after the year 2000

They say it looks like the tram from the hill
Of Corcovado from here
Except you don't catch it and get in and sit and ride
The rail is like a brightness that has no end
Oh, that has no end
That has no end
Oh, girl, that has no end

You never reach the concrete Christ
Of matter or anything real
After 2001 and 2 and beyond
The Christ is like someone who was seen ascending to heaven
Oh, ascending to heaven
In a veil of bright cloud ascending to heaven
