Que el mundo fue y será
una porquería, ya lo sé.
En el quinientos seis
y en el dos mil, también.
Que siempre ha habido chorros,
maquiavelos y estafaos,
contentos y amargaos,
varones y dublés.
Pero que el siglo veinte
es un despliegue
de maldá insolente,
ya no hay quien lo niegue.
Vivimos revolcaos en un merengue
y en el mismo lodo
todos manoseaos.
Hoy resulta que es lo mismo
ser derecho que traidor,
ignorante, sabio, chorro,
generoso o estafador...
¡Todo es igual!
¡Nada es mejor!
Lo mismo un burro
que un gran profesor.
No hay aplazaos ni escalafón,
los ignorantes nos han igualao.
Si uno vive en la impostura
y otro roba en su ambición,
da lo mismo que sea cura,
colchonero, Rey de Bastos,
caradura o polizón.
¡Qué falta de respeto,
qué atropello a la razón!
Cualquiera es un señor,
cualquiera es un ladrón...
Mezclao con Toscanini
Ringo Starr y Napoleón
Don Bosco y La Mignon,
John Lennon y San Martín...
Igual que en la vidriera
irrespetuosa
de los cambalaches
se ha mezclao la vida,
y herida por un sable sin remache
ves llorar La Biblia
junto a un calefón.
Siglo veinte, cambalache
problemático y febril...
El que no llora no mama
y el que no afana es un gil.
¡Dale, nomás...!
¡Dale, que va...!
¡Que allá en el Horno
nos vamo' a encontrar...!
No pienses más; sentate a un lao,
que a nadie importa si naciste honrao...
Es lo mismo el que labura
noche y día como un buey,
que el que vive de los otros,
que el que mata, que el que cura,
o está fuera de la ley...

Caetano Veloso (Salvador, 7 aprile 1942) è uno dei cantautori più influenti del Brasile. Figlio di una famiglia borghese, si avvicina alla musica fin da giovane, appassionandosi al bossa nova e al rock. Negli anni '60, a Rio de Janeiro, diventa parte del movimento Tropicália, un'esplosione culturale che mescolava elementi tradizionali brasiliani con influenze internazionali come il pop, il psichedelico e il jazz. Caetano Veloso è noto per le sue melodie innovative, i testi poetici e la sua voce distintiva. Œuvre fondamentale del movimento Tropicália, Caetano ha collaborato con artisti come Gilberto Gil, Tom Zé e Gal Costa. Nel 1968, a seguito della censura militare in Brasile, viene esiliato in Londra. Dopo il ritorno in patria, continua a produrre musica di grande successo, esplorando nuovi generi musicali come la world music e l'elettronica. Tra i suoi brani più famosi figurano "Alegria, Alegria", "Sozinho", "Sampa" e "O Leãozinho". Caetano Veloso è considerato un'icona culturale brasiliana, il cui impatto sulla musica e la società del suo paese rimane profondo.
