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, 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.
Yes, I don’t care
if you don’t dare see.
Musicada e gravada por Gilberto Gil no álbum Gilberto Gil (1970)
