Kingly Time
I don't delude myself
Everything will remain the way it has been
Transfering, transforming
Time and space navigating all the senses
Sugarloaf Mountain, Corcovados
Frustigated by rain and eternal wind
Soft water, hard stone
So much that there will be no thought left
Kingly time, O kingly time, O kingly time
Transform the old ways of living
Teach me, O father, what I still don't know
Mother Lady of Perpetual, help
Thought
Even the singular foundation of the human being
From one moment to the next
You can no longer find either Greeks or Bahians
Zealous mothers, owl fathers
See how dirty the waters suddenly get
Make no mistake, I don't delude myself
Everything right now can be for a second
Kingly time, O kingly time, O kingly time
Transform the old ways of living
Teach me, O father, what I still don't know
Mother Lady of Perpetual, help
Kingly time, O kingly time, O kingly time
Kingly time, O kingly time, O kingly time
Kingly time, O kingly time, O kingly time

A poem by Xue Tao ( name beginning with X)
All Night I Have Listened
The early sun dissolves the mist
that has covered the mountain.
All night I have listened to the wise,
yet failed to learn.
Dimly, darkly, the eternal pines
rise without effort from the vanishing fog.
