Eu Sou Neguinha?

Eu tava encostado ali minha guitarranum quadrado branco, vídeo papelãoeu era um enigma, uma interrogaçãoolha que coisamas que coisa à toa, boa, boa, boa, boa, boaeu tava com graça...tava por acaso ali, não era nadabunda de mulata, muque de peãotava em Madureira, tava na Bahiano Beaubourg, no Bronx, no Bráse eu, e eu, e eu, e eua me perguntareu sou neguinha?

era uma mensagemlia uma mensagemparece bobagem mas não era nãoeu não decifrava, eu não conseguiamas aquilo ia, e eu ia, e eu ia, e eu ia, e eu iaeu me perguntava

era um gesto hippie, um desenho estranhohomens trabalhando, para e contramãoe era uma alegria, era uma esperançaera dança e dança ou não, ou não, ou não, ou não, ou nãotava perguntado:eu sou neguinha?eu sou neguinha?sou neguinha.......eu sou neguinha?sou neguinha.......

eu tava rezando ali completamenteum crente, uma lente, era uma visãototalmente terceiro sexototalmente terceiro mundo terceiro milêniocarne nua, nua, nua, nua, nua, nuaera tão gozadoera um trio elétrico, era fantasiaescola de samba na televisãocruz no fim do túnel, beco sem saídae eu era a saída, melodia, meio-dia, dia, dia, diaera o que eu dizia:eu sou neguinha?

mas via outras coisas: via o moço fortee a mulher macia den’da escuridãovia o que é visível, via o que não viae o que poesia e a profecia não vêemmas vêem, vêem, vêem, vêem, vêemé o que pareciaque as coisas conversam coisas surpreendentesfatalmente erram, acham soluçãoe que o mesmo signo que eu tento ler e seré apenas um possível e o impossívelem mim, em mil, em mil, em mil, em mile a pergunta vinha:eu sou neguinha?

I'm Black

I was leaning my guitar therein a white square, messed up video.I was an enigma, a question.Look at that thingjust something for nothing, good, good, good, good, good.I was with grace...I was there by chance, it wasn't anything.Ass of a mulatto woman, muscles of a working manI was in Madureira, I was in Bahiain Beaubourg, in the Bronx, in Bras.And I, and I, and I, and Iasked myselfAm I black?

It was a messageI read a messageIt seemed to be a joke, but it wasn't.I couldn't decipher it, I couldn't get itbut that's what I was, and I was, and I was, and I was, and I wasI asked myself

It was a hippie gesture, a strange designMen working, back and forthAnd it was a joy, it was a hopeIt was a dance and dance or not, or not, or not, or not, or notI was asking:Am I black?Am I black?I'm black...Am I black?I'm black...

I was praying there fullya believer, a lens, I was a visiontotally a third sextotally a third world, third millennium.Naked flesh, naked, naked, naked, naked, nakedIt was so strangeIt was a rock trio, it was a costumesamba school on the TVCross at the end of the tunnel, dead end streetAnd I was the exit, melody, noon, day, day, dayIt was what I was saying:Am I black?

But I saw other things, I saw the strong youthand a smooth-skinned woman in the darknessI saw what is visible, I saw what isn't seenand what poetry and prophecy didn't seebut they saw, they saw, they saw, they saw, they sawIt's what seemedthat the things talk about surprising thingsInevitably they err, they think it's a solutionand that the same sign that I try to read and beis scarcely a possibility and the impossibleIn me, in a thousand, in a thousand, in a thousand, in a thousandand the question came:am I black?
