Legião Urbana-Faroeste Caboclo на английском
A fearless guy named João de Santo Cristo
That's what everybody was saying when he lost himself
He left behind all the boredom of a farm
Only to feel in his blood the hate that Jesus gave him
When he was a child the only thing he'd think about was to become an outlaw
Even more than when his father were shot and killed by a soldier
Was feared around the neighborhood
In school even the teacher leaned from him
He went to church only to steal cash
The old ladies left in the collecting box by the altar
Feeling that he was really different
Also feeling that he doesn't belong there
He wanted to leave to see the sea
And the things he saw on TV
Saves some money so he can travel
And by his own choice chosen loneliness was
Screw up with every little girl in tow
He played doctor for so long that when he was twelve a professor was he
At fifteen he was sent to a reformatory
Where his hate was increased by all that terror
Couldn't understand how really life Works out
Racially social class and by his color discriminated
He got tired of trying to find answers
And bought a ticket went right to Salvador
Arriving there he went for a coffee
And met a herdsman with whom he spoke
And the herdsman had a ticket and was going to miss the trip
But João came to save him
He said "I'm going to Brasília
In this country, there's no better place
I have to visit my daughter
I'll stay here and you go
And in a bus he got into the Planalto Central
He was dazzled by the city
(In his way out of the bus station he saw the Christmas lights)??????????? While he was leaving the bus terminal the lights from NATAL by the a CITY in Rio Grande do Norte he saws
Dear God, what a beautiful city!
This new year I"ll get a job
Cutting wood, carpenter aprentice
He made one hundred thousand a month in Taguatinga
On Fridays he went downtown
To spend all his working-man money
And met a lot of interesting people
Even a bastard grandson of his great-grandfather
A guy from Peru that lives in Bolivia
And a lot of things he brought from there
His name was Pablo and he used to say
That a business he was going to start
And Santo Cristo worked to death
But his money wasn't enough for him to eat
And he listened at seven o'clock the news
Which always said that Mr. Minister was going to help
But he was through with the talking
And decided that, like Pablo, he was going to make do
He elaborated his holy plan once more
And, without crucifixion, he started the plantation
In no time, dudes of the city got word of the new stuff
There's some good stuff there!
And got all the other drug dealers out of his area
He made friends, went to the Asa Norte often
And went to rock parties to feel free
But suddenly by bad influence of the city's thugs
On the first robbery he already got done
And to hell he went for the first time
Violence and r-ping of his body
Now Santo Cristo was an outlaw
Fearless and feared in the Distrito Federal
He wasn't afraid from Police
Captains or drug dealers, rich kids or Generals
That's when he met a girl
Maria Lúcia was a beautiful girl
He said that wants to get married
And he got back being a carpenter
Maria Lúcia I'll love you forever
Time goes by someday on his front door A middle aged man from high society Full of money on his hands
And an indecent proposal he made Saying that an answer he waits for
I don't set bombs neither in newspapers Tends or children school
And I don't protect ten-stars general That seats behind the desks
And you better leave my home sir
Never play with someone horoscope Fish ascending scorpion
But before leaving, with hate in his eyes The old man said
You've just lost your life my brother
You've just lost your life my brother
You've just lost your life my brother
"These words will go into the heart
And I'll suffer the consequences as a dog"
Turned out Santo Cristo was right
Got drunk and in the middle of the drinking around, he found out that there was other
He told Pablo that he wanted a sidekick
And that also had money and wanted to have guns
Pablo was bringing the contraband from Bolivia
and Saint Christ would resell in Planaltina
But turns out that a guy named Jeremias, a famous drug dealer
He got aware of Saint Christ's plans
And decided he would kill João
But Pablo brought a Winchester-22
and Saint Christ knew already how to shoot
And decided to use the gun just after
Jeremias started to put up a fight
Jeremias, shameless pothead, got the Rockweed set up
Un-virgin'd inocent ladies
And said he was a believer, but he couldn't pray at all
And Saint Christ hadn't gone home for so long
And he began missing home
I'm going home, I'm gonna see Maria Lúcia
The time for us to marry has come
By coming home, so, he cried
And to hell he went for the second time
With Maria Lúcia, Jeremias got married
And he had a son with her
Saint Christ was pure hate inside, so he invited Jeremias to a duel
"Tomorrow, 2PM, in Ceilândia, in front of the lot 14, it's there I'm headed to
And you can choose your very own weapons, that I'll kill you even so, your betrayal pig
And kill Maria Lúcia as well, that fake girl who I gave all my love to"
And Saint Christ didn't know what to do
When he saw the reporter on the television
That talked about the duel on TV
Saying the time, the place and the reason
The man who shot behind back and hit Saint Christ
He felt so much blood on his throat
João looked at the little flags and to the people who were standing an ovation
And looked at the ice cream seller and to the cameras
And to the TV crew who were recording everything that was going on
And remembered of when he was a kid and everything he had lived since then
And decided to, finally, get into that dance
If the via crucis turned into a circus, I'm here
And the Sun blinded him, so Maria Lúcia he recognized
She got him the Winchester-22
The gun that his cousin Pablo had given him
"Jeremias, I'm a man, thing that you aren't
And I don't shoot behing no back, I don't
Look at here, motherf-cker, shameless
And come feel your forgiveness"
And Saint Christ with the Winchester-22
Shot 5 times at the betrayal criminal
Maria Lúcia regretted later
And died together with João, her protector
The people stated that João de Santo Cristo was saint because he knew how to die
And the town's high burgesses couldn't believe the story they had just seen on TV
And João couldn't get what he wanted, when he came down to Brasilia, with the Devil have
He wanted to talk to the president to help all these people
