Oriental Brasileiro

Brazilian oriental, I honor the real true
I know everything is temporary, I seek wisdom
That goes beyond money, I know it's necessary to have it
But I also seek care in everyday things

Not the last, not the first, not the only engineer
Who is also an architect, laborer and feels the magic
I'm a goalkeeper striker, killer and avenger
Invocation of the terreiro or aunt's rosary

I'm Umbanda, Candomblé, Kardec and Xavier
Rastafari with a cap imprinted in psychography
I'm Garrincha, I'm Pelé, neither a hustler nor a fool
My faith goes from Tibet to Jesus, Joseph, Mary

For eyes that are attentive, ears at the same time
I understand when I enter and enter in tune
I don't fall into oblivion, my improvement
Is what generates the firmament to achieve mastery

Brazilian oriental, I honor the real true
I know everything is temporary, I seek wisdom
That goes beyond money, I know it's necessary to have it
But I also seek care in everyday things

Cephalic, cerebellum, skull, under the hair
Are indispensable points, para-psychology
Courage comes from fear, man cries without secret
Who bites nails points the finger, where would that lead you?

Alone in the crowd, who knows maybe another brother
Coming from another direction out of nowhere I would find
There is a division, of what I think and the sensation
Of action and reaction that no one would explain

And there is no explanation, problem nor solution
It is in this incomprehension that poetry is born
It takes me to other places, familiar environments
Knowledge in airs that I would never breathe

Brazilian oriental, I honor the real true
I know everything is temporary, I seek wisdom
That goes beyond money, I know it's necessary to have it
But I also seek care in everyday things

East: Pakistan, Korea, Afghanistan
Libya, Egypt, Japan, KGB versus the CIA
Russia and Vietnam, China, Gaza Taliban
India, Iraq of Saddam and also Ethiopia

I can reach nirvana or become a suicide bomber
End this plot of false democracy
American company buys IBAMA inspectors
Guilty being dead innocent wouldn't die

My reality is my identity
The responsibility of being my own guide
There are no 'more truths', each one is an infinity
That's why each being is born and dies every day

Brazilian oriental, I honor the real true
I know everything is temporary, I seek wisdom
That goes beyond money, I know it's necessary to have it
But I also seek care in everyday things
