Canto do Índio
Padre Zezinho
Indian's Song
In the center of life
In the womb of the forest
In the midst of green
Under the sky that was the moon
Under the shining sun
Under the moon, the Indian lived
Indian was born, Indian grew
Indian lived, Indian ran
Indian danced, Indian planted
Indian hunted, Indian loved
Indian fought, Indian died
Indian lived happily
He didn't have much, but he had everything
He didn't covet, he didn't need
He didn't waste, he never stole
He didn't deceive, he didn't trade
He didn't devastate, he didn't pollute
Indian knew how to live
In the center of life
In the womb of the forest
In the midst of green
Under the sky that was the moon
Under the shining sun
Under the moon, the Indian lived
But the white man arrived speaking
That he comes to help my people
White man was pushing
Indian out of the land
White man won the war
White man took our land
