A cri... A cri... 00:18
A criminalidade toma conta da cidade 00:21
A sociedade põe a culpa nas autoridades 00:24
O cacique oficial viajou pro pantanal 00:27
Porque aqui a violência tá demais 00:29
E lá encontrou um velho Índio que usava 00:31
Um fio dental e fumava um cachimbo da paz 00:34
O presidente deu um tapa no cachimbo 00:36
E na hora de voltar pra capital ficou com preguiça 00:39
Trocou seu palitó pelo fio dental 00:42
E nomeou o velho Índio pra Ministro da Justiça 00:44
E o novo ministro, chegando na cidade 00:47
Achou aquela tribo violenta demais 00:49
Viu que todo cara-pálida vivia atrás das grades 00:51
E chamou a tv e os jornais 00:54
E disse: Índio chegou trazendo novidade 00:56
Índio trouxe cachimbo da paz 00:59
Maresia, sente a maresia, maresia, uh-uh 01:02
Apaga a fumaça do revólver, da pistola 01:20
Manda a fumaça do cachimbo pra cachola 01:23
Acende, puxa, prende, passa 01:26
Índio quer cachimbo, Índio quer fazer fumaça 01:28
Todo mundo experimenta o cachimbo da floresta 01:31
Dizem que é do bom, dizem que não presta 01:33
Querem proibir, querem liberar 01:35
E a polêmica chegou até o congresso 01:38
Tudo isso deve ser pra evitar a concorrência 01:40
Porque não é Hollywood mas é o sucesso 01:43
O cachimbo da paz deixou o povo mais tranquilo 01:45
Mas o fumo acabou porque só tinha oitenta quilos 01:48
E o povo aplaudiu quando o Índio partiu pra selva 01:50
E prometeu voltar com uma tonelada 01:53
Só que quando ele voltou, sujo' 01:55
A polícia federal preparou uma cilada 01:57
O cachimbo da paz foi proibido 02:00
Entra na caçamba, vagabundo, vamo' pra DP, ê-ê-ê 02:02

Manda a fumaça do cachimbo pra cachola 02:32
Acende, puxa, prende, passa 02:34
Índio quer cachimbo, índio quer fazer fumaça 02:37
Na delegacia só tinha viciado e delinquente 02:39
Cada um com um vício e um caso diferente 02:41
Um cachaceiro esfaqueou o dono do bar 02:44
Porque ele não vendia pinga fiado 02:46
E um senhor bebeu uísque demais 02:48
Acordou com um travesti e assassinou o coitado 02:51
Um viciado no jogo apostou a mulher 02:53
Perdeu a aposta e ela foi sequestrada 02:55
Era tanta ocorrência, tanta violência 02:58
Que o Índio não tava entendendo nada 03:01
Ele viu que o delegado fumava um charuto fedorento 03:03
E acendeu um, da paz, pra relaxar 03:04
Mas quando foi dar um tapinha levou 03:07
Um tapão violento e um chute naquele lugar 03:10
Foi mandado pro presídio e no caminho assistiu 03:14
Um acidente provocado por excesso de cerveja 03:16
Uma jovem que bebeu demais atropelou 03:18
Um padre e os noivos na porta da igreja 03:20
E pro Índio nada mais faz sentido 03:23
Com tantas drogas proque só o seu cachimbo é proibido 03:25
Maresia, sente a maresia, maresia, uh-uh 03:28
Apaga a fumaça do revólver, da pistola 03:47
Manda a fumaça do cachimbo pra cachola 03:50
Acende, puxa, prende, passa 03:52

Na penitenciária o Índio fora da lei 03:57
Conheceu os criminosos de verdade 03:59
Entrando, saindo e voltando 04:01
Cada vez mais perigosos pra sociedade 04:03
Aí, cumpádi, tá rolando um sorteio na prisão 04:06
Pra reduzir a superlotação 04:08
Todo mês alguns presos tem que ser executados 04:12
E o Índio dessa vez foi um dos sorteados 04:14
E tentou acalmar os outros presos 04:16
Peraí, vâmo fumar um cachimbinho da paz 04:19
Eles começaram a rir e espancaram 04:21
O velho Índio até não poder mais 04:24
E antes de morrer ele pensou 04:26
Essa tribo é atrasada demais 04:28
Eles querem acabar com a violência 04:30
Mas a paz é contra a lei e a lei é contra a paz 04:33
E o cachimbo do Índio continua proibido 04:35
Mas se você quer comprar é mais fácil que pão 04:38
Hoje em dia ele é vendido pelos mesmos bandidos 04:41
Que mataram o velho Índio na prisão 04:44
Maresia, sente a maresia, maresia, uh-uh 04:46

[English]
The cry... The cry...
Crime takes over the city
Society blames the authorities
The official chief traveled to the Pantanal
Because the violence here is just too much
And there he met an old Indian who wore
A thong and smoked a peace pipe
The president slapped the pipe
And when it was time to go back to the capital, he got lazy
Swapped his coat for the thong
And appointed the old Indian as Minister of Justice
And the new minister, upon arriving in the city
Found the tribe too violent
Saw that all the pale faces were behind bars
Called the TV and newspapers
And said: The Indian's arrival brings a new thing
The Indian brought a peace pipe
Sea breeze, feel the sea breeze, sea breeze, uh-uh
Douse the gunfire from the revolver, the pistol
Send the smoke of the pipe to the brain
Light it up, draw, hold, pass
The Indian wants the pipe, the Indian wants to make smoke
Everyone tries the forest pipe
They say it's good, they say it's bad
They want to ban it, they want to legalize
And the debate reached Congress
All this must be to avoid competition
Because it's not Hollywood, but it's success
The peace pipe made the people more peaceful
But the tobacco ran out because there were only eighty kilos
And the crowd cheered when the Indian went into the jungle
And promised to come back with a ton
But when he returned, dirty,
The federal police set a trap
The peace pipe was banned
Hop into the truck, vagrant, we're going to the police station, hey-hey-hey
The Indian's screwed because there’s going to be a fight
Sea breeze, feel the sea breeze, sea breeze, uh-uh
Douse the gunfire from the revolver, the pistol
Send the smoke of the pipe to the brain
Light it up, draw, hold, pass
The Indian wants the pipe, the Indian wants to make smoke
In the police station, only addicts and delinquents
Each with a different vice and case
A drunk stabbed the bar owner
Because he wouldn’t sell liquor on credit
And an old man drank too much whiskey
Woke up with a tranvestite and killed the poor guy
A gambling addict bet his wife
Lost the bet and she was kidnapped
There was so much violence, so much chaos
That the Indian didn’t understand anything
He saw the detective smoking a foul-smelling cigar
And lit one up, for peace, to relax
But when he gave a little slap, he got
A violent punch and a kick to that place
He was sent to prison and on the way he saw
An accident caused by too much beer
A girl who drank too much ran over
A priest and bride and groom outside the church
And for the Indian, nothing makes sense anymore
With all these drugs, why is only his pipe banned?
Sea breeze, feel the sea breeze, sea breeze, uh-uh
Douse the gunfire from the revolver, the pistol
Send the smoke of the pipe to the brain
Light it up, draw, hold, pass
The Indian wants the pipe, the Indian wants to make smoke
In prison, the Indian is outside the law
Met real criminals
Entering, leaving, and coming back
Growing more dangerous for society
So, buddy, now there's a lottery in prison
To reduce overcrowding
Every month, some prisoners are executed
And this time, the Indian was one of the lucky ones
And tried to calm the other prisoners
Wait, let’s smoke a little peace pipe
They started laughing and beat him up
The old Indian until he couldn’t anymore
And before dying, he thought
This tribe is too backward
They want to end violence
But peace is against the law, and law against peace
And the Indian’s pipe remains forbidden
But if you want to buy, it’s easier than bread
Nowadays, it’s sold by the same criminals
Who killed the old Indian in jail
Sea breeze, feel the sea breeze, sea breeze, uh-uh
Douse the gunfire from the revolver, the pistol
Send the smoke of the pipe to the brain
Light it up, draw, hold, pass
The Indian wants the pipe, the Indian wants to make smoke
Sea breeze, feel the sea breeze, sea breeze, uh-uh
Douse the gunfire from the revolver, the pistol
The Indian wants the pipe, the Indian wants to make smoke
Douse the gunfire from the revolver, the pistol
Light it up, draw, hold, pass
Douse the gunfire from the revolver, the pistol
The Indian wants the pipe, the Indian wants to make smoke
Douse the gunfire from the revolver, the pistol
Send the smoke of the pipe to the brain
Light it up, draw, hold, pass
The Indian wants the pipe, the Indian wants to make smoke
Douse the gunfire from the revolver, the pistol
Send the smoke of the pipe to the brain
Light it up, draw, hold, pass
The Indian wants the pipe, the Indian wants to make smoke
