Índios [English translation]

I wish, for once at least,

To have back all the gold that I gave to those

Who managed to convince me

That it was a token of friendship

If someone took away even what I didn't have.

I wish, for once at least,

To forget that I believed it was out of fun

That one would always cut a floor cloth

Out of fine linen and pure silk.

I wish, for once at least,

To explain what no one can understand:

That what happened is yet to come

And the future is no longer how it used to be.

I wish, for once at least,

To prove that those who have more than they should have

Almost always convince themselves they don't have enough

And speak too much for not having anything to say

I wish, for once at least,

That the simplest was seen as the most important

But they gave us mirrors

And we saw a sick world.

I wish, for once at least,

To understand how a single God is simultaneously three

And this same God was killed by you

Your wickedness then made God so sad.

I wanted danger and I even bled alone

Understand - this way I could bring you back to me,

When I realized it's only ever you

Who understands me from beginning to end

And it's only you who has the cure for my addiction

Of insisting on this longing that I feel

Of all the things that I've never seen.

I wish, for once at least,

To believe for an instant in everything that exists

And believe that the world is perfect

And that all people are happy.

I wish, for once at least,

To make the world aware that your name

Is in everything and still

Nobody even says “thank you”.

I wish, for once at least,

Like the prettiest tribe of the prettiest indians,

Not get attacked for being innocent.

I wanted danger and I even bled alone

Understand - this way I could bring you back to me,

When I realized it's only ever you

Who understands me from beginning to end

And it's only you who holds the cure for my addiction

Of insisting on this longing that I feel

Of all the things that I've never seen.

They gave us mirrors and we saw a sick world

I tried to cry and I couldn't.
