O Vento Vai Responder

How many paths must one walk
Before becoming someone?
How many seas must we cross
To be able to rest on the sand?
How many more stray bullets will fly
Before disappearing?
Listen to what
The wind says, my friend
The wind will answer

How many times will we look at the sky
Before knowing how to see?
How many ears will power have
To hear the people cry?
How many more deaths will crime cause
Before being satisfied?
Listen to what
The wind says, my friend
The wind will answer

How many years can a mountain exist
Before the sea covers it?
How many beings will still be tortured
Before being freed?
How many heads will turn away
Pretending not to see?
Listen to what
The wind says, my friend
The wind will answer
