Cachimbo Da Paz Lyrics in English Gabriel O Pensador , Lulu Santos

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Cachimbo Da Paz by Gabriel O Pensador from Portuguese to English.
Verse 1
Crime takes over the city
Society blames the authorities
The official chief traveled to the Pantanal
Because here the violence is too much
And there he found an old Indian wearing a thong
And smoking a peace pipe
The president slapped the pipe and at the moment
Of returning to the capital, he felt lazy
He traded his suit for the thong and appointed
The old Indian as the minister of justice
And the new minister arriving in the city
Found that tribe too violent
He saw that every pale face lived behind bars
And called the TV and the newspapers
And said, 'The Indian arrived bringing something new
The Indian brought the peace pipe'
Sea breeze, feel the sea breeze
Sea breeze
Sea breeze, feel the sea breeze
Sea breeze
Blow away the smoke from the revolver, from the pistol
Send the smoke from the pipe to your head
Light up, inhale, hold, pass
Indian wants pipe, Indian wants to make smoke
Everyone tries the forest pipe
They say it's good
They say it's no good
They want to ban it, they want to legalize it
And the controversy reached Congress
All this must be to avoid competition
Because it's not Hollywood, but it's a success
The peace pipe made the people calmer
But the tobacco ran out because there were only eighty kilos
And the people applauded when the Indian went back to the jungle
And promised to return with a ton
But when he returned: trouble!
The federal police set a trap
The peace pipe was banned
Get in the truck, scumbag
Let's go to the police station!
The Indian is screwed because it's gonna get rough there
Sea breeze, feel the sea breeze
Sea breeze
Sea breeze, feel the sea breeze
Sea breeze
Blow away the smoke from the revolver, from the pistol
Send the smoke from the pipe to your head
Light up, inhale, hold, pass
Indian wants pipe, Indian wants to make smoke
At the police station, there were only addicts and delinquents
Each with a different addiction and case
A drunk stabbed the bar owner
Because he wouldn't sell him booze on credit
And a man drank too much whiskey
Woke up with a transvestite and killed him
A gambling addict bet his wife
Lost the bet and she was kidnapped
There were so many incidents, so much violence
That the Indian didn't understand anything
He saw that the chief smoked a stinky cigar
And lit up a peace pipe to relax
But when he tried to offer it
He got a violent slap
And a kick in that place
He was sent to prison and on the way
He witnessed an accident caused by too much beer
A young woman who drank too much ran over
A priest and the newlyweds at the church door
And for the Indian, nothing makes sense anymore
With so many drugs, why is only his pipe banned?
Sea breeze, feel the sea breeze
Sea breeze
Sea breeze, feel the sea breeze
Sea breeze
Blow away the smoke from the revolver, from the pistol
Send the smoke from the pipe to your head
Light up, inhale, hold, pass
Indian wants pipe, Indian wants to make smoke
In the penitentiary, the Indian outlaw
Met the real criminals
Coming in, going out, and returning even more dangerous to society
Hey, buddy, there's a lottery going on in prison
To reduce overcrowding
Every month some prisoners have to be executed
And this time the Indian was one of the chosen ones
And he tried to calm the other prisoners
Hold on, let's smoke a little peace pipe
They started laughing and beat
The old Indian until he couldn't take it anymore
And before dying, he thought
This tribe is too backward
They want to end violence
But peace is against the law and the law is against peace
And the Indian's pipe remains banned
But if you want to buy it, it's easier than bread
Nowadays it's sold by the same criminals
Who killed the old Indian in prison
Sea breeze, feel the sea breeze
Sea breeze
Sea breeze, feel the sea breeze
Sea breeze
Blow away the smoke from the revolver, from the pistol
Send the smoke from the pipe to your head
Light up, inhale, hold, pass
Indian wants pipe, Indian wants to make smoke
Sea breeze, feel the sea breeze
Sea breeze
Blow away the smoke from the revolver, from the pistol
Feel the sea breeze, sea breeze
Indian wants pipe, Indian wants to make smoke
Blow away the smoke from the revolver, from the pistol
