Óh, mãe! Óh, mãe!
Oh Mother! Oh Mother!
Tomai conta do planeta
take care of the planet
Perdoai, perdoai
forgive, forgive
Por nossa descrença
by our unbelief
Erguei, erguei
I got up, I got up
Vosso manto sobre a Terra
Your mantle on Earth
E o sol se põe
And the sun goes down
É noite na guerra
It's night in the war
Trégua entre os homens que vão morrer
Truce between men who will die
Trégua entre os homens que vão matar
Truce between men who will kill
Arde a fogueira que rompe as trevas
Burns the bonfire that breaks the darkness
Pra dança das moças de Bagdá
For the dance of the girls of Baghdad
Dormem por entre as ruínas
Sleep among the ruins
Sem nem saber se vão acordar
Without even knowing if they will wake up
Chora escondido o menino
The boy cries in secret
Que ainda espera o seu pai voltar

Yoshua, Yoshua
Joshua, Joshua
Avatar das esperanças

Perdoai, perdoai
forgive, forgive
Nossa intolerância

Calai, calai
Shut up, shut up
O silêncio das crianças

Ensurdecem a Terra

Trégua entre os mortos que hão de viver

Calma entre os anjos que hão de voltar

Pra nova era romper as trevas

No ventre das fadas de Shangrilá

Jorrai o pranto nas pedras

Lavai as trilhas de Canaã

Sei que a intenção do profeta
