Gita Lyrics in English Raul Seixas

Home / Lyrics Translation / Raul Seixas / Gita

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Gita by Raul Seixas from Portuguese to English.

Intro

I've roamed the four corners of the world

Searching, it was right in a dream

That he spoke to me

Verse 1

Sometimes you ask me

Why I'm so quiet

I barely talk about love

Nor keep smiling by your side

You think of me all the time

You f*ck me, spit me out, leave me

Maybe you don't get it

But today I'll show you

I'm the light of the stars

I'm the color of moonlight

I'm the things of life

I'm the fear of loving

I'm the weak one's fear

The power of imagination

The gambler's bluff

I am, I was, I will

Gita, gita, gita, gita, gita

I'm your sacrifice

The wrong-way sign

The blood in the vampire's gaze

And the sworn curses

I'm the candle that lights

I'm the light that goes out

I'm the edge of the abyss

I'm the everything and the nothing

Verse 2

Why do you ask me

Questions won't show you

That I'm made of earth

Of fire, of water and of air

You have me every day

But don't know if it's good or bad

But know that I'm in you

Yet you're not in me

Of the tiles I'm the roof

The fisherman's catch

The letter A bears my name

Of dreams I'm the love

I'm the housewife

In the world's pick-and-pays

I'm the hangman's hand

I'm shallow, wide, deep

Gita, gita, gita, gita, gita

I'm the fly in the soup

And the shark's tooth

I'm the blind man's eyes

And the blindness of sight

But I'm the tongue's bitterness

The mother, the father and the grandpa

The son that hasn't come yet

The start, the end and the middle

I'm the start, the end and the middle

SONG MEANING

Raul Seixas turns “Gita” into a wild, philosophical ride where the narrator claims to be everything at once: light and shadow, predator and prey, beginning and end. Inspired by the Hindu scripture Bhagavad Gita, the song presents a cosmic catalogue of I am declarations that blur the line between the individual and the universe. Seixas invites us to imagine that the same energy pulsing through stars, fears, mothers, and even the “fly in the soup” is hiding inside each listener.

By piling up opposites—love vs. fear, land vs. sea, roof vs. tiles—he shows that life’s contradictions all belong to a single, boundless consciousness. The message is playful yet profound: if “I am everything,” then so are you, so drop the masks and feel the unity. “Gita” is both rock anthem and spiritual manifesto, nudging us to recognize the divine spark in the mundane beat of everyday life.
