Eu Nasci Há 10 Mil Anos Atrás Em Inglês

I Was Born Ten Thousand Years Ago

Raul Seixas

One day on a city street

I saw an old man

Sitting on the sidewalk

With an alms bowl

And a guitar in hand

The people stopped to listen

He thanked the coins

And sang this song

That told a story

Which was something like this

I was born

Ten thousand years ago

And there's nothing in this world

That I don't know too much

I was born

Ten thousand years ago

And there's nothing in this world

That I don't know too much

I saw Christ be crucified

Love is born and be murdered

I saw the witches on fire

To pay your sins

I saw!

I saw Moses

Cross the red sea

I saw Muhammad

Fall to the ground on your knees

I saw Peter deny Christ

For three times

In front of the mirror

I saw!

I was born (I was born)

Ten thousand years ago

(I was born 10,000 years ago)

And there's nothing in this world

That I don't know too much

I was born (I was born)

Ten thousand years ago

(I was born 10,000 years ago)

And there's nothing in this world

That I don't know too much

I saw the candles

If they light up for the Pope

I saw Babylon

Be crossed out on the map

I saw Count Dracula

Sucking new blood

And hiding behind the cover

I saw!

I saw Noah's ark

Cross the seas

I saw Solomon sing

Your Psalms in the Air

I saw zombie run away

With the blacks to the forest

Pro Quilombo dos Palmares

I saw!

I was born (I was born)

Ten thousand years ago

(I was born 10,000 years ago)

And there's nothing in this world

That I don't know too much

I was born (I was born)

Ten thousand years ago

(I was born 10,000 years ago)

And there's nothing in this world

That I don't know too much

I saw the blood

That ran from the mountain

When Hitler

Called all Germany

I saw the soldier

That dreamed of the beloved

In a field bed

I read!

I read the symbols

Sacred Umbanda

I was a child to

Being able to dance ciranda

When all

Cursed against the cold

I made the bed on the balcony

I was born (I was born)

Ten thousand years ago

(I was born 10,000 years ago)

And there's nothing in this world

That I don't know too much

I was born (I was born)

Ten thousand years ago

(I was born 10,000 years ago)

And there's nothing in this world

That I don't know too much

Not! Not!

I was together

With the monkeys in the cave

I drank wine

With women in the tavern

And when the stone

It plummeted from the bluff

I also broke my leg

Me too

I was a witness

From Rapunzel's love

I saw the star of David

Shine in the sky

And for the one who proves

That i'm lying

I take off my hat

I was born (I was born)

Ten thousand years ago

(I was born 10,000 years ago)

And there's nothing in this world

That I don't know too much

I was born (I was born)

Ten thousand years ago

(I was born 10,000 years ago)

And there's nothing in this world

That I don't know too much

I was born (I was born)

Ten thousand years ago

(I was born 10,000 years ago)

And there's nothing in this world

That I don't know too much
