Letra
One hundred years ago, halfway 'round the world
A fertile seed took hold in a barren field
A lawyer thrown from a train, ticket in his hand
Spent the night in the station, Pietermaritzburg, South Africa
Satyagraha, satyagraha
Satyagraha, clinging to the truth
Satyagraha, satyagraha
Satyagraha, clinging to the truth
Struggling with his rage, shaping his transformation
Alchemizing shame into dignity
Tuesday night they came, three thousand men and women
Invited by the one taken from the train, it was time for change
Satyagraha, satyagraha
Satyagraha, clinging to the truth
Satyagraha, satyagraha
Satyagraha, clinging to the truth
The man was Mohandas Ghandi, the year was 1906
The date was September 11th, there was a problem he needed to fix
And that was the night civil disobedience
Came into the light of our consciousness
One hundred years ago, now one hundred years beyond
One hundred and eighty degrees, we must turn around
Return to peace
Satyagraha, satyagraha
Satyagraha, clinging to the truth
Satyagraha, satyagraha
Satyagraha, clinging to the truth
Tradução da letra
Cem anos atrás, do outro lado do mundo
Uma semente fértil apoderou-se num campo estéril.
Um advogado atirado de um Comboio, Bilhete na mão
Passei a noite na estação, Pietermaritzburg, África do Sul
Satyagraha, satyagraha
Satyagraha, agarrada à verdade
Satyagraha, satyagraha
Satyagraha, agarrada à verdade
Lutando com a sua raiva, moldando a sua transformação
Alquimizar a vergonha em dignidade
Na terça-feira à noite vieram três mil homens e mulheres.
Convidado por aquele que saiu do trem, era hora de mudar
Satyagraha, satyagraha
Satyagraha, agarrada à verdade
Satyagraha, satyagraha
Satyagraha, agarrada à verdade
O homem era Mohandas Ghandi, o ano era 1906
A data era 11 de setembro, havia um problema que ele precisava resolver
E esta foi a noite da desobediência civil.
Veio à luz da nossa consciência
Cem anos atrás, agora cem anos depois
Cento e oitenta graus, temos de dar a volta.
Regresso à paz
Satyagraha, satyagraha
Satyagraha, agarrada à verdade
Satyagraha, satyagraha
Satyagraha, agarrada à verdade
