When you are invited to go up to the churchyard of
Fundação Casa de Jorge Amado
To see from above the line of soldiers, almost all black
Hitting black scoundrels in the back of the head < br/>Of mulatto thieves
And others almost white
Treated as black
Just to show the others almost black
(And they are almost all black)
And to almost white people who are poor as black
How are black people, poor people and mulattos
And almost white people who are almost black because they are so poor are treated
And it doesn't matter if the eyes of the world whole can
Stand for a moment facing the square
Where the slaves were punished
And today a batuque, a batuque with the purity of
boys in uniforms
From school secondary school on a parade day
And the epic grandeur of a people in formation
Attracts us, dazzles us and stimulates us
Nothing matters
Neither the trace of the townhouse, nor the lens of Fantástico
Nor Paul Simon's album
No one
No one is a citizen
If you go see Pelô's party
And if you don't go
Think about Haiti
Pray for Haiti
Haiti is here
Haiti is not It's here
And on TV if you see a congressman in a panic
Poorly disguised
In the face of any, but any
Any any
Education plan
That seems easy
That seems easy and fast
And will represent a threat to democratization
primary education
And if this same deputy defends the adoption of capital punishment
And the venerable cardinal says that he sees so much spirit in the fetus
And none in the marginal
What if, when you run the traffic light, the usual old red light
Notice a man pissing on the corner of the street
on a shiny bag of Leblon trash
And when you hear the silence smiling from São Paulo in the face of the massacre
One hundred and eleven defenseless prisoners
But prisoners are almost all black
Or almost black
Or almost white almost black because poor
And poor are like rotten
And everyone knows how black people treat each other
And when you go for a walk in the Caribbean
And when you have sex without a condom
And present your intelligent participation in the blockade of Cuba
Think about Haiti
Pray for Haiti
Haiti is here
Haiti is not here
