Nêga (Photograph blues)
Gilberto Gil
Nega
You spent so blissfully
The last few days with me
Nega
I spent so nicely too
The last few days with you
When I met you, it was so fine
I didn’t talk a lot to you
I only mentioned your smooth hair
You made a speech about shampoo
We took many, many, many photographs
Downtown
As we passed through
Nega
You spent so blissfully
The last few days with me
Nega
I spent so nicely too
The last few days with you
You’ve been going just where I’ve gone
All my people you have seen
I’ve been doing just what you’ve done
Now I can dig your cup of mu tea
We let our moments become, become
What they really had to be
Nega
You spent so blissfully
The last few days with me
Nega
I spent so nicely too
The last few days with you
Develop our photographs
As simple dreams that will come true
Perhaps they will make you laugh
Or make you sure about we two
Develop, baby, our photographs
Perhaps they will make you sure
Perhaps they will show you nothing
Nothing, but a shade of blue

The three mushrooms
Gilberto Gil
Jorge Mautner
The first mushroom
Makes room for my mind
To get inside the magic room
Of Dionisius’ house
Time is over
War is over
I am safe and sound
I live and love
I drink and eat
I can leap and bound
Now I am dying all my life away
As well as I am being reborn
Day after day
The second mushroom
Makes room for my body
To get inside the tragic room
Of Dionisius’ house
Time is on
War is all
I am busy and sad
From mists of pain
I rise and fall
Like an endless rain
Now I am doing what I have to do
Fulfilling all my will of conquest
Moon after moon
The last mushroom
Makes room for the unknown
I get inside the secret room
Of an unthinkable house
In which I feel the grace
In which I get to be the space
From which I see the earth
Exploding into a light
That the last mushroom aroused
The last mushroom
Atomic mushroom

Babylon
Gilberto Gil
Jorge Mautner
First time I came to Babylon
I felt so lonely
I felt so lonely and people came along
To mistreat me
Calling me so many names in the streets
And I was so shy
That I began to cry
But now
I am so proud
Of whatever should be
Cause I have a silver knife
And my lover is Satan’s wife
And I don’t care
If you don’t dare see

Volkswagen blues
Gilberto Gil
Let me present to you
My Volks-Volkswagen blues
Ready to carry me away
A long way to reach the moon
Let me present to you
My Volks-Volkswagen blues
Ready to carry me away
A long way to reach the moon
Such an idea fills my daydream
Such an idea brings a moon beam
Such a floating light thread
Hangs on my little cabin, lonely cabin
My lunar Volkswagen cabin
With no men, no dog, no bag in
Such an idea thrills my soul
Breaks down my self control
So I haste away to find
Accelerating my mind
Now my cabin floats holding me in
I’ve got the space under my skin
Such an idea thrills my soul
Breaks down my self control
But I feel like a yolk in a egg
On the way to the moon
Thrown high in the sky by my dream
In my Volkswagen blues
Let me present to you
My Volks-Volkswagen blues
Ready to carry me away
A long way to reach the moon
Let me present, let me sing to you
My Volks-Volkswagen blues
Ready to carry me away
A long way to reach the moon

Mamma
Gilberto Gil
Am gonna do my best again
Am gonna go my way, mamma
Tomorrow am gonna catch a train
Don’t try to hold me down
I wanna put my chest against the wind
From east and west once again
Mamma
Give me your blessing right now
Am gonna get ahead again
Am gonna go my way, mamma
Before you tie me to a chain
Before you close me down
So wide you should stretch your breast
And hold my life inside yourself again
Mamma
Give me your blessing right now
I wanna kiss your face again
Am gonna go my way, mamma
Don’t worry, don’t cry, don’t complain
Don’t try to hold me down
How much you want your darling, baby
Clinging to your long skirt again
Oh, mamma
Give me your blessing right now

One o’clock last morning, 20th april, 1970
Gilberto Gil
I came home so happy
I came when it was coming up to one
I mean I came when the midnight was past
I mean I came when the middle age was gone
I mean I came when it was coming up to one
Yes my oneness
At one o’clock last morning
I saw him tão triste
I told him he was alive and he could cry
I mean I saw him so sad that I said a thing
I told him he was a bird and he could fly
I mean I saw him when it was coming up to become
Such a sadness
At one o’clock last morning

Crazy pop rock
Gilberto Gil
Jorge Mautner
From the city runs electricity in my brains
From the cars runs gasoline up in my veins
My blood intoxicated by twenty-seven trips
My eyes hallucinated by the Holy Ghost I met
When I talk
I cannot talk
I only gotta sing loud, loud
A crazy pop rock
From the city runs electricity in my brains
From the cars runs gasoline up in my veins
I’m part of the problem, I’ m not the solution
I’m really the product of city pollution
When I talk
I cannot talk
I only gotta sing loud, loud
A crazy pop rock
From the city runs electricity in my brains
From the cars runs gasoline up in my veins
Baby, baby, baby, I’m the electric man
Come and get a shock, I’m the electric man
When I talk
I cannot talk
I only gotta sing loud, loud
A crazy pop rock
