[Part I - Imperial Crown] Meu maracatu é da coroa imperial É de Pernambuco Ele é da casa real Ele é É de Pernambuco Ele é Lá de Portugal
Tupana, Tupana Tupana, Tupana Cana Xanae Bei
Em ladeira beira-mar (É da coroa imperial) Em ladeira beira-mar (É da coroa imperial) Em ladeira beira-mar Capoeira vai pegar
Tupana, Tupana
[Part II - Forgiven Return] A lethal bolt pierces the air Like a falling star (Young eyes are observing in the darkness) His stare's reflecting fright And scared he's struggling hard To go back
Uneasy warders guard The jail on quiet nights (Young eyes contemplating somewhere to hide) Mankind will soon learn That the end has come in time
Dividing lands, retracing All the borders will colide Revealing ages when the absence Of forgiveness rules our lives
Home how I go My badge is wearing out Written on the sand Words to reconcile unholy wars
Forgive us our father For we have sinned Blinded by pride We know not what we do Thy kingdom will be done By holy wars
The battle is over But the war still rages on!
Dividing lands, retracing All the borders will colide Revealing ages when the absence Of forgiveness rules our lives
Home how I go My badge is wearing out Written on the sand Words to reconcile
Home how I go My badge is wearing out Written on the sand Words to reconcile unholy wars
