TABLE TENNIS TABLE   
Gilberto Gil

  
Table tennis table
I and I
Play to show we are able
Not to die
  
Small and light white ball
Forth and forth
All is irie and irie is all
Love is worth 
  
Don稚 think I知 trying to make another I
One is enough
I知 just expanding to overstand a cry
As well as a laugh 
  
Don稚 think I知 lieing to fake another me
One is too much
I知 just extending the shores of my sea
Beyond any reach, beyond any touch 
  
See, on the opposite side 
as if we look on a mirror
The other, the same

See, on the table tennis 
table I知 killing the killer
Is this me/we game 
  
This me/we game
This me/we game
Oh! Me/we
Yes, me/we
The shortest 
poem in all poetry
Oh! Me/we
Yes, me/we
The poem Cassius Clay declamed
Like I and I
The same I and I
Identical to I and I
The pray that rastamen proclaimed
To say that we are never alone in this world
Me/we, I and I
To state that state of togetherness
The oness that means not to die 
  
Table tennis table
Ping-pong, ping-pong, I and I
Play to show we are able
Not to die, not to die

Small and light white ball
Forth and forth and so forth
All is Irie, Irie is all
Love is worth, love is worth
