Full lyrics

Não me iludo

Tudo permanecerá do jeito

Que tem sido transcorrendo transformando

Tempo espaço navegando todos os sentidos

Pães de Açúcar, Corcovados

Fustigados pela chuva e pelo eterno vento

Água mole pedra dura

Tanto bate que não restará nem pensamento

Transcorrei ó tempo rei ó tempo rei

Transformai as velhas formas do viver

Ensinai-me ó pai o que eu ainda não sei

Mãe senhora do pérpetuo socorrer

Pensamento mesmo fundamento singular

Do ser humano de um momento para o outro

Poderá não mais fundar nem gregos nem baianos

Mães zelosas pais corujas

Vejam como as águas de repente ficam sujas

Não se iludam não me iludo

Tudo agora mesmo pode estar por um segundo

Transcorrei ó tempo rei ó tempo rei

Transformai as velhas formas do viver

Ensinai-me ó pai o que eu ainda não sei

Mãe senhora do perpétuo socorrer.

Translation

I'm not fooled

Everything will remain the way

It has been unfolding, transforming

Time, space, navigating all senses

Sugar Loaves, Corcovados

Whipped by the rain and the eternal wind

Water wears away the stone

So much it strikes that not even a thought will remain

Unfold, oh time king, oh time king

Transform the old ways of living

Teach me, oh father, what I still don't know

Mother, lady of perpetual help

Thought, the very singular foundation

Of the human being, from one moment to the next

May no longer found Greeks nor Bahians

Zealous mothers, doting fathers

See how the waters suddenly become dirty

Don't be fooled, I'm not fooled

Everything right now may be over in a second

Unfold, oh time king, oh time king

Transform the old ways of living

Teach me, oh father, what I still don't know

Mother, lady of perpetual help.
