Pés Descalços

You belong to an ancient race
Of barefoot
And white dreams
It was dust and to dust it returns
The iron exposed to heat is mild

You bit the apple
And renounced paradise
And condemned that serpent
That's what you wanted

For millennia and millennia
Running through the world
Facing dinosaurs
Without a roof and without a shield

And now you're here
Wanting to be happy
Crying like a child
Your destiny

You belong to an ancient race
Of barefoot
And white dreams
It was dust and to dust it returns
The iron exposed to heat is mild

You built a precise world
Finished and perfect
Everything calculated
In its space and time
And I, who am complete chaos
An entrance, an exit
A rule and a measure
Are concepts I don't understand

And now you're here
Wanting to be happy
Crying like a child
Your destiny

You belong to an ancient race
Of barefoot
And white dreams
It was dust and to dust it returns
The iron exposed to heat is mild

You belong to an ancient race
Of barefoot
And white dreams
It was dust and to dust it returns
The iron exposed to heat is mild

Greet the neighbor
Wake up at a certain time
Work every day
To live life
Argue more about that
And feel less about this
And may God help us
From these bad thoughts
Fulfill the tasks
Attend school
What would the family say
If you're a failure?
Always wear shoes
Without noise at the table
Use half words
And a tie at parties
Women get married
Always before thirty
If they think it's too late
And still don't accept you
At the fifteen-year-old ball
Don't forget to buy
A fine champagne
And dance a waltz
And dance a waltz
