Paul Mounsey - Kaiwá Farewell lyrics

Long ago when our fathers were young Men came and the claimed all the land Took the trees and they sent them away Now we try to survive day by day You see, they're squeezing us out And the creatures they sneer at our creed As they witness the bootleggers' greed We can run, but we cannot go far We no longer know who we are You see, they're squeezing us out Goodnight, Mother dear Going to sleep, gonna put out the flame Can't see no future here Lay me down and end this shame Out here on the edge without hope No heart, no spirit to cope The silent rebellion goes on Maybe someone will notice we're gone You see, they're squeezing us out Goodnight, Mother dear Going to sleep, gonna stand aside Can't see no future here Time to go to the other side Goodnight, Mother dear Going to sleep, gonna put out the flame Can't see no future here Lay me down and end this shame Luitú, uaá iatimú iunaitá Pinú iára nê icú Eni caauaçú I muçarái Chueuára suí sauaitá pitumbica Piumirí suí. Nheengarí ichebé nê nheengára Goodnight, Mother dear Going to sleep, gonna stand aside Can't see no future here Time to go to the other side Goodnight, Mother dear Going to sleep, put out the flame Can't see no future here Lay me down and end this shame
