Um Índio

An Indian will come down from a colorful and bright star
From a star that will come with astonishing speed
And will land at the heart of the southern hemisphere
In America in a bright instant
After the last Indian nation is exterminated
As well as the spirit of the birds and the sources of clear water
More advanced than the most advanced technological advancements

It will come
Undaunted like Muhammad Ali
I saw it will come
Passionately like Peri
I saw it will come
Placid and infallible like Bruce Lee
I saw it will come
The axé from afoxé Filhos de Gandhi
It will come

An Indian preserved in complete physical body
All solid, all gas, and all liquid
In atoms, words, soul, color
In gestures, in smell, in shadow, in light, in magnific sound
At an equidistant point between the Atlantic and the Pacific
From the resplendent sim-object the Indian will come down
And the things he will say, will do
I don't know how to say it in an explicit manner

It will come
Undaunted like Muhammad Ali
I saw it will come
Passionately like Peri
I saw it will come
Placid and infallible like Bruce Lee
I saw it will come
The axé from afoxé Filhos de Gandhi
It will come

And that which will be revealed to the world peoples
Will surprise everyone not for being exotic
But by the fact that it was able to stay always hidden
When it was so obvious
