Paroles et traduction Arnaldo Antunes - Saiba

Saiba

Saiba: todo mundo foi neném
Einstein, Freud e Platão também
Hitler, Bush e Sadam Hussein
Quem tem grana e quem não tem

Saiba: todo mundo teve infância
Maomé já foi criança
Arquimedes, Buda, Galileu
E também você e eu

Saiba: todo mundo teve medo
Mesmo que seja segredo
Nietzsche e Simone de Beauvoir
Fernandinho Beira-Mar

Saiba: todo mundo vai morrer
Presidente, general ou rei
Anglo-saxão ou muçulmano
Todo e qualquer ser humano

Saiba: todo mundo teve pai
Quem já foi e quem ainda vai
Lao, Tsé, Moisés, Ramsés, Pelé
Ghandi, Mike Tyson, Salomé

Saiba: todo mundo teve mãe
Índios, africanos e alemães
Nero, Che Guevara, Pinochet
E também eu e você

What you should know

What you should know is that everyone was a baby
Even Einstein, Freud, and Plato
Hitler, Bush, and Saddam Hussein
The well off and the poor

What you should know is that everyone had a childhood
Even Mohammed was once a child
Archimedes, Buddha, Galileo
And so were you and me

What you should know is that everyone has been afraid
Even if they keep it a secret
Nietzsche and Simone de Beauvoir
Even Fernandinho Beira-Mar

What you should know is that everyone will die
Presidents, generals, or kings
Anglo-Saxons or Muslims
Every single human being

What you should know is that everyone has had a father
Those who are gone and those who are yet to come
Lao, Tse, Moses, Ramses, Pelé
Gandhi, Mike Tyson, Salome

What you should know is that everyone has had a mother
Native Americans, Africans, and Germans
Nero, Che Guevara, Pinochet
And also you and me
