Lyrics
Eu estava caminhando pela Rua do Ouvidor, quando de repente
Eu vi um velhinho com uma cuia pedindo esmoa
E a cada uma que dava esmola, ele contava sua hist? ria:
Eu nasci h? dez mil anos atr? s
E n? o tem nada neste mundo que eu n? o sabia demais
Eu vi Cristo ser crucificado
O amor nascer e se assassinado
E as bruxas pegando fogo para pagarem seus pecados
Vi Mois? s cruzar o Mar Vermelho
Maom? cair na terra de joelhos
E Pedro negar Cristo por tr? s vezes diante do espelho
Vi as velas de acenderem para o Papa
Babil? nia ser riscada do mapa
Conde Dr? cula sugando sangue novo e se escondendo atr? s da capa
Vi a arca de No? cruzar os mares
Salom? o cantar seus Salmos pelos ares
Vi zumbi fugir com os negros pra floresta, pro quilombo dos palmares
Vi o sangue que corria da montanha
Quando Hitler chamou a Alemanha
E o soldado que sonhava com a amada numa cama de campanha
Li os s? mbolos sagrados de umbanda
Fui crian? a pra poder dan? ar ciranda
Quando todos praguejavam contra o frio fiz a cama da varanda
Tava junto com os macacos na caverna
Bebi vinho com a s mulheres na taberna
Quando a pedra despencou da ribanceira eu tamb? m quebrei a perna
Fui testemunha do amor de Rapunzel
Vi a estrela de David brilhar no c? u E pra aquele que provar que eu estou mentindo
Pra este eu tiro o meu chap? u.

Lyrics translation
I was walking down the street of the Ombudsman, when suddenly
I saw an old man with a cuia asking for alms
And to every one who gave alms, did he tell his hist? estuary:
I was born h? ten thousand years ago? s
And n? the has nothing in this world that I do not? I knew too much.
I saw Christ being crucified
Love be born and get murdered
And the witches set on fire to pay for their sins
Vi Month? s cross the Red Sea
Maom? fall to the ground on your knees
And Peter deny Christ by tr? sometimes in front of the mirror
I saw the candles light for the Pope
Babil? nia be scratched from the map
Count Dr? cula sucking new blood and hiding atr? cover s
Did I see the Ark of No? crossing the seas
Salom? singing his Psalms through the air
I saw zombie escape with the blacks to the forest, pro quilombo of palmares
I saw the blood running from the mountain
When Hitler called Germany
And the soldier who dreamed of his beloved in a country bed
Read os s? sacred monuments of umbanda
I was a kid? pra poder dan? AR ciranda
When everyone raged against the cold I made the balcony bed
He was with the monkeys in the cave
I drank wine with the s women in the tavern
When the stone fell from the bank Me Too? m broke my leg
I witnessed Rapunzel's love
Did I see the star of David shine in the c? U and for the one who proves that I'm lying
This is what I take my chap for? or.
