Guerra Santa

Gilberto Gil Gilberto Gil

Holy War

He says he has, he has the key to open the gates of heaven
he promises salvation
he kicks the image of the saint, goes crazy
but doesn't tear money, no

He says he does, he does all this in the name of God
like a Pope in the inquisition
he doesn't even remember the horror of the night of Saint Bartholomew
no, he doesn't remember anything

He doesn't remember anything, he's crazy
but doesn't tear money
promises a mansion in paradise
as long as you pay first
that you first pay money
give your donation, and enter heaven
taken by the good thief

He thinks he makes love his profession of faith
but makes a profession of faith
in fact, when it comes to selling peace, love, and blessings
he's not alone

I even understand the professional saviors
their fair of illusions
but the good peddler who wants to sell his fish in peace
lets the other sell lemons

One sells lemons, the other
sells the fish he wants
to sell
the name of God can be Oxalá
Jehovah, Tupã, Jesus, Muhammad
Muhammad, Jesus, Tupã, Jehovah
Oxalá and many more
different sounds, yes, for the same dreams
