O Diabo
Jorge Mautner Lyrics
Na peça Fausto do poeta gênio alemão Goethe
O diabo é um simples funcionário público do reinado de Deus
Deus criou o Diabo para que o ser humano fosse tentado pela tentação do pecado
para colocar em dúvida sua fé por alguns segundos
E existir a livre opção entre o bem e o mal
Aqui no sertão do nordeste
Mucuri é o diabo E ele é o capeta
Na verdade o seu nome é Mefistófeles ou Mefisto
Ele também poderia ser Exú da encruzilhada
Mas sem dúvida ele é Lúcifer
Que na verdade é a estrela da manhã
Ele é Satanás, ele é Satã
Muitas vezes ele se encarna em seres humanos desumanos
Como Adolf Hitler
Vade retro, satanás
E para isso é preciso o feitiço do som que os tambores sagrados fazem
Ao tocarem para os orixás
Nessa terra não quero guerra só quero Paz
E de repente, como uma garoa fina
Cai sobre todos nós
A graça divina
O diabo é um simples funcionário público do reinado de Deus
Deus criou o Diabo para que o ser humano fosse tentado pela tentação do pecado
para colocar em dúvida sua fé por alguns segundos
E existir a livre opção entre o bem e o mal
Aqui no sertão do nordeste
Mucuri é o diabo E ele é o capeta
Na verdade o seu nome é Mefistófeles ou Mefisto
Ele também poderia ser Exú da encruzilhada
Que na verdade é a estrela da manhã
Ele é Satanás, ele é Satã
Muitas vezes ele se encarna em seres humanos desumanos
Como Adolf Hitler
Vade retro, satanás
E para isso é preciso o feitiço do som que os tambores sagrados fazem
Ao tocarem para os orixás
Nessa terra não quero guerra só quero Paz
E de repente, como uma garoa fina
Cai sobre todos nós
A graça divina
