Areia da Ampulheta

I am the hourglass sand
The lighter side of the scale
The cultivated ignorant
The unconscious rabid dog
The daily ox served on plates
The cornered street kid

I am the hourglass sand
The resigned bum
Who doesn't know which side
Watches the sorrow of the pyramids
Unloved drunkard
The sadly cheerful trained

I am the hourglass sand
Who ignores the existence
That there are more states
Without the idea that it's round
The planet where it vegetates
I am the hourglass sand

I am the sand
I am the hourglass sand
But the one who carries its flag
From every place the most dishonored
Born in the wrong place
I am, I am you
