Legião Urbana
Indians
I wish I could at least once,
Have back all the gold I gave
Whoever managed to convince me
That it was proof of friendship
If someone took away even what I didn't have.
I wish I could at least once,
Forget that I believed it was a joke
That a floor cloth was always cut
Of noble linen and pure silk.
I wish I could at least once,
Explain what no one can understand:
That what happened is still to come
And the future is no longer what it used to be.
I wish I could at least once,
Prove that those who have more than that you need to have
You almost always convince yourself that you don't have enough
And you talk too much, because you have nothing to say.
I wish I could at least once,
That the simplest would be seen as the most important,
But they gave us mirrors
And we saw a sick world.
I wish I could just once,
Understand as one God is three at the same time
And this same God was killed by you --
It's just evil then, leaving a God so sad.
I wanted the danger and I even bled alone.
Understand -- this way I could bring you back to me,
When I discovered that it's always only you
Who understands me from beginning to end
And then It's only you who has the cure for my addiction
To insist on this longing that I feel
For everything I haven't seen yet.
I wish I could at least once,
Believe for a moment in everything that exists
And believe that the world is perfect
And that all people are happy.
I wish I could just once,
To let the world know that your name
Is in everything and yet
No one even says thank you.
I wish I could just once,
Like the most beautiful tribe, of the most beautiful Indians,
Not to be attacked for being innocent.
I wanted the danger and even bled alone.
Understand -- this way I could bring you back come 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 insist in this longing that I feel
For everything I haven't seen yet.
We were given mirrors and we saw a sick world --
I tried to cry and I couldn't.
