Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pra baixar todo santo que puder ajudar
Baixa todo pajé e pajá
Desce Shiva, Buda e Alá
Pra tapar o buraco que abriu na camada
E sozinho nós num vai fechar
Na real, é melhor começar a congar
O mundo tem mais alguns dias pra acabar
Veja isto é super-interessante
Água potável mais raro que diamante
Matematica alarmante racionamento
Sos mata atlantica
Rep em inglês
Enquanto lideres discutem em almoço
Os cientista bolam mais um plano novo
Marqueteiros criam slogan enganoso
O g8 ameniza o meu alvoroso
O mundo só acaba em 2018
Até lá já criei meu abrigo antiatomico
Ki, ki, ki ... kioto
Últimos suspiros e um mundo torto
O que você tem ha ver com isso caboclo?
Pense que talvez escapemos por pouco
Rep em inglês
Assina o papel validando o esforço
Todos querem se dar bem no acordo
Mas ninguém quer largar o seu osso
Ki, ki, ki... kioto
The lyrics of Kyoto by Curumin feat. Blackalicious & Lateef the Truthspeaker are a call for spiritual entities from various religions to come together and help save the world from destruction. The singer is appealing to Jah, Iemanjá, Krishna, Shiva, Buda, and Alá to join forces and help close the hole that has been created in the ozone layer. The world is on the verge of destruction, and it is better to start working together to mend the damage. The water scarcity, deforestation, and impending doom are alarming, and the need to collaborate becomes imperative.
The song highlights the inadequacy of leaders in solving global issues such as water shortage, deforestation, and environmental depletion. The lyrics touch on the scientific and mathematical warnings of resource depletion, and the lack of political leadership in tackling such issues. The singer urges people to create their own shelter or sanctuary to escape the apocalypse if it is unavoidable. The final lines of the song remind listeners that while leaders are busy discussing and negotiating agreements, no one wants to give up their resources to make a real difference.
