They Killed The King

Ele era um homem santoHe was a holy man
Em uma terra de pecadoIn a land of sin
Mataram o reiThey killed the king
Oh senhorOh lord
Mataram o reiThey killed the king

Ele liderou um exército pacíficoHe led a peaceful army
Com uma pele odiadaWith a hated skin
Mataram o reiThey killed the king
Oh senhorOh lord
Mataram o reiThey killed the king

Sua única arma era acreditarHis only weapon was believin'
Em uma canção conhecidaIn a well-known song
Mataram o reiThey killed the king
Oh senhorOh lord

Enquanto seu exército cantavaWhile his army was singin'
Nós vamos vencerWe shall overcome
Mataram o reiThey killed the king

Você sabe, ele lutouYou know, he fought
Por amor e liberdadeFor love and freedom
Ele lutou por toda a humanidadeHe fought for all mankind
Ele lutou para que negros e brancosHe fought that black and white
Pudessem viver juntosCould live with one another
E sempre ter paz de espíritoAnd always have a piece of mind
