Índios

I wish, at least once
To have back all the gold I gave to those
Who managed to convince me it was a proof of friendship
If someone took away even what I didn't have

I wish, at least once
To forget that I believed it was a joke
That a piece of noble linen and pure silk
Was always being cut

I wish, at least once
To explain what no one can understand
That what happened is yet to come
And the future is not as it used to be

I wish, at least once
To prove that those who have more than they need
Almost always convince themselves they don't have enough
And talk too much because they have nothing to say

I wish, at least once
That the simplest things were seen as the most important
But they gave us mirrors
And we saw a sick world

I wish, at least once
To understand how one God can be three at the same time
And that same God was killed by you
Is it just wickedness then, to leave a God so sad?

I wanted danger and even bled alone
Understand, so I could bring you back to me
When I discovered that it's always only you
Who understands me from beginning to end
And it's only you who has the cure for my addiction
To persist in this longing that I feel
For everything I haven't seen yet

I wish, at least once
To believe for a moment in everything that exists
And believe that the world is perfect
And that all people are happy

I wish, at least once
To make the world know that your name
Is in everything and yet
No one even says thank you

I wish, at least once
Like the most beautiful tribe, of the most beautiful Indians
Not to be attacked for being innocent

I wanted danger and even bled alone
Understand, so I could bring you back to me
When I discovered that it's always only you
Who understands me from beginning to end
And it's only you who has the cure for my addiction
To persist in this longing that I feel
For everything I haven't seen yet

They gave us mirrors and we saw a sick world
I tried to cry and couldn't
