I was born!
Ten thousand years ago
And there's nothing in this world
that I don't know too much...
I saw Christ being crucified
I saw love reborning and being murdered
I saw Witches burning to pay for their sins
I saw candles being lit to the Pope
I saw Babilonia disappearing from the map
I saw Count Dracula sucking fresh blood and hiding himself in his cover
I saw Noah's ark crossing the Seas
I saw Solomon singing his salms that faded away
I saw Zumbi running away with blacks in the forest to Quilombo do Palmares
I saw the blood that flowed from the mountain
when Hitler called upon all Germany
I saw a soldier who dreamed about his beloved in a camp bed
I read!
I read the holy symbols of Umbanda
I was a child who could play Ciranda
And while everybody was complaing about the cold
I did sleep outdoors...
No! No!
I was together with the monkeys inside the cave
I drank wine with the women in the Tavern
And when the stone fell from the bluff
I also broke my leg
I also did...
I was witness of Rapunzel's love
I saw the Star of David shining in the sky
And to the one who can prove
I'm lying
I'll take my hat off
I was born!
Ten thousand years ago
And there's nothing in this world
that I don't know too much...
