Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Carta Aos Missionários by Biquini Cavadão from Portuguese to English.
Missionários de um mundo pagão, proliferando ódio e destruição
Missionaries from a pagan world, proliferating hatred and destruction
Vêm dos quatro cantos da Terra
They come from the four corners of the Earth
A morte, a discórdia, a ganância e a guerra
Death, discord, greed and war
Missionários e missões suicidas
Missionaries and suicide missions
Crianças matando crianças inimigas
Children killing enemy children
Generais de todas as nações, fardas bonitas, condecorações
Generals of all nations, beautiful uniforms, decorations
Documentam na nossa história
Document our history
O seu rastro sujo de sangue e glória
Your dirty trail of blood and glory
Vindo de todas as partes, indo pra lugar algum
Coming from everywhere, going nowhere
Assim caminha a raça humana, se devorando um a um
This is how the human race walks, devouring itself one by one
Gritei para o horizonte, e ele não me respondeu
I screamed at the horizon, and he didn't answer me
E então fechei os olhos
And then I closed my eyes
Sua voz assim me bateu
Your voice hit me like that
