Gilberto Gil Gilberto Gil

King Time

I'm not fooled
Everything will remain the way
It has been
Flowing
Transforming
Time and space navigating all senses

Sugar Loaves
Corcovados
Lashed by the rain
By the eternal wind
Soft water
Hard stone
So much beating that not even a thought will remain

King time, oh, king time, oh, king time
Transform the old ways of living
Teach me, oh, Father, what I still don't know
Mother Lady of the Perpetual, help

Thought
Even the singular foundation of human being
From one moment to the next
May no longer found Greeks, nor Bahians

Zealous mothers
Proud fathers
See how the waters suddenly turn dirty
Don't be fooled
I'm not fooled
Everything right now could be gone in a second

King time, oh, king time, oh, king time
Transform the old ways of living
Teach me, oh, Father, what I still don't know
Mother Lady of the Perpetual, help

King time, oh, king time, oh, king time
Transform the old ways of living
Teach me, oh, Father, what I still don't know
Mother Lady of the Perpetual, help
