The Art of Raul Seixas
I Was Born Ten Thousand Years Ago
I was walking along Rua do Ouvidor, when suddenly
I saw an old man with a gourd asking for food
And to each one who gave alms, he told his story:
I was born ten thousand years ago
And there is nothing in this world that I didn't know too much
I saw Christ be crucified
Love was born and murdered
And the witches caught fire to pay for their sins
I saw Moses cross the Red Sea
Muhammad fall to the earth on his knees
And Peter denies Christ three times in front of the mirror
I saw the candles being lit for the Pope
Babylon being erased from the map
Count Dracula sucking new blood and hiding behind
the cloak
br/>I saw Noah's ark cross the seas
Solomon sing his Psalms in the air
I saw zombies flee with the black people to the forest, to the quilombo dos palmares
I saw the blood that ran from the mountain
I saw the blood that ran from the mountain
br/>When Hitler called Germany
And the soldier who dreamed of his beloved on a camp bed
I read the sacred symbols of Umbanda
I was a child so I could dance ciranda
When everyone They cursed the cold I made the bed on the balcony
I was with the monkeys in the cave
I drank wine with the women in the tavern
When the stone fell from the bank I also broke the tree
I went witness to Rapunzel's love
I saw the star of David shine in the sky
And to the one who proves that I'm lying
To him I take off my hat.
