Continente Perdido (terra de Montezuma)
Ruy Maurity
Lost Continent (Land of Montezuma)
(1976)
Moon of the rough wood, little kingdom - America
Son of many leagues, outlaw, Indian - America
You’re a loose word or maybe another - America
A beat from barefoot kids - America
They say Montezuma wasn’t a warrior nor was he able
To defend the land, the gold, the silver, and much more
Nor to shut the mouth of the white Muse with blue blood
Across the seas never given to the sailors down here
They talk about the Sorcerer, king of the provinces, of the Carnivals
Of the headless mule in theatrical shows
They talk about the butterflies, the rainbow, the storms
In this lost kingdom, vanished, too divided!
