Índios [English translation]
Índios [English translation]
I wish, for 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 took away even what I didn't have.
I wish, for once at least,
To forget that I believed it was out of fun
That one would always cut a floor cloth
Out of fine linen and pure silk.
I wish, for once at least,
To explain what no one can understand:
That what happened is yet to come
And the future is no longer how it used to be.
I wish, for once at least,
To prove that those who have more than they should have
Almost always convince themselves they don't have enough
And speak too much for not having anything to say
I wish, for 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, for once at least,
To understand how a single God is simultaneously three
And this same God was killed by you
Your wickedness then made God so 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 beginning to end
And it's only you who has the cure for my addiction
Of insisting on this longing that I feel
Of all the things that I've never seen.
I wish, for once at least,
To believe for an instant in everything that exists
And believe that the world is perfect
And that all people are happy.
I wish, for once at least,
To make the world aware that your name
Is in everything and still
Nobody even says “thank you”.
I wish, for once at least,
Like the prettiest tribe of the prettiest indians,
Not get attacked for being innocent.
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 beginning to end
And it's only you who holds the cure for my addiction
Of insisting on this longing that I feel
Of all the things that I've never seen.
They gave us mirrors and we saw a sick world
I tried to cry and I couldn't.
