Spirit Voices
(专辑: The Rhythm Of The Saints - 1990)
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
