We sailed up a river wide as a sea | |
And slept on the banks | |
On the leaves of a banyan tree | |
And all of these spirit voices rule the night | |
Some stories are magical, meant to be sung | |
Song from the mouth of the river | |
When the world was young | |
And all of these spirit voices rule the night | |
By moon | |
We walk | |
To the brujo's door | |
Along a path of river stone | |
Women with their nursing children | |
Seated on the floor | |
We join the fevers | |
And the broken bones | |
The candlelight flickers | |
The falcon calls | |
A lime-green lizard scuttles down the cabin wall | |
And all of these spirit voices | |
Sing rainwater, sea water | |
River water, holy water | |
Wrap this child in mercy - heal her | |
Heaven's only daughter | |
All of these spirit voices rule the night | |
My hands were numb | |
My feet were lead | |
I drank a cup of herbal brew | |
Then the sweetness in the air | |
Combined with the lightness in my head | |
And I heard the jungle breathing in the bamboo | |
Saudac~oes(Greetings!) | |
D'a lic'enca um momento(Excuse me, one moment) | |
Te lembr'o(I remind you) | |
Que amanh~a(That tomorrow) | |
Ser'a tudo ou ser'a naoa(It will be all or it will) | |
(be nothing) | |
Depende, cora,c~ao(It depends, heart) | |
Ser'a breve ou ser'a grande(It will be brief or it will) | |
(be great) | |
Depende da paix~ao(It depends on the passion) | |
Ser'a sujo, ser'a sonho(It will be dirty, it will) | |
(be a dream) | |
Cuidado, cora,c~ao(Be careful, heart) | |
Ser'a 'util, ser'a tarde(It will be useful, it will be) | |
(late) | |
Se esmera, cora,c~ao(Do your best, heart) | |
E confia(And have trust) | |
Na for,ca do amanh~a(In the power of tomorrow) | |
Lord of the earthquake | |
My trembling bed | |
The spider resumes the rhythm | |
Of his golden thread | |
And all of these spirit voices rule the night |
