Índios [English translation]

I wish, once at least,

To have back all the gold that I gave to those

who managed to convince me

that it was a token of friendship

if someone were to take away what I didn't have.

I wish, once at least,

to forget that I presumed it was out of fun

that anyone would cut a floor mop cloth

out of fine linen and pure silk.

I wish, once at least,

to explain something that no one understands:

that what happened is yet to come

and the future is no longer how it used to be.

I wish, at least once,

to prove that those who have more than they should have

often convince themselves they don't have enough

and speaks too much due to not having anything to say

I wish, once at least,

That the simplest was seen as the most important

But they gave us mirrors

And we saw a sick world.

I wish, once at least,

To understand how a single God is simultaneously three

And this same God was killed by you people

It is only evil then, to make a God that sad.

I wanted danger and I even bled alone

Understand - this way I could bring you back to me,

When I realized it's only ever you

Who understands me from top to bottom

And it's only you who holds the cure for my addiction

Of insisting on this longing that I feel

Of all the things I'm yet to see.

I wish, once at least,

To accept for an instant in everything that exists

And believe that the world is perfect

And that all people are happy.

I wish, once at least,

To make the world be aware that my name

Is in everything and still

Nobody is even saying thank you.

I wish, once at least,

Just like the prettiest tribe of the prettiest Indians,

Not get attacked due to being harmless.

I wanted danger and I even bled alone

Understand - this way I could bring you back to me,

When I realized it's only ever you

Who understands me from top to bottom

And it's only you who holds the cure for my addiction

Of insisting on this longing that I feel

Of all the things I'm yet to see.

They gave us mirrors and we saw a sick world

I tried to cry and I couldn't.
