Apesar de Usted

Today you are the one in charge
It's said, it's done
No discussion, right?

All my people today are
Speaking softly
Looking at the corner, you see?

You who invented that state
And invented inventing
All the darkness

You who invented sin
Forgot to invent
Forgiveness

Despite you
Tomorrow will be
Another day

I would like to know
Where you will hide
From that immense joy

How will you forbid
That rooster to insist
On singing

New water sprouting
And people loving each other
Non-stop

When that moment comes
All the suffering
I will collect for sure, I swear

All that repressed love
That bitten scream
This samba in the dark

You who invented sadness
Have the kindness today
To uninvent

You will pay
And well paid
For every tear shed
From my sorrow

Despite you
Tomorrow will be
Another day

I would give so much to see
The garden bloom
As you didn't want

How much will you be embittered
Seeing the day break
Without asking for permission

How will I laugh
That the day will come
Sooner than you think

Despite you
Tomorrow will be
Another day

You will then have to see
The day reborn
Spreading poetry

How will you explain
Seeing the sky clear
Suddenly, shamelessly

How will you silence
Our choir singing to you
Straight on

Despite you
Tomorrow will be
Another day
