Sister Self

Irmã Eu Mesma

Sister Self

Aquele mastro não tá crescendo no meu céu negro e sólidoThat pole isn't growing in my black solid sky
Céu sólidoSolid sky
E os navios piratas puxaram meus ombros pra trásAnd pirate ships pulled these shoulders back
Mas na sonolência da manhã eu segurei a palma fina da minha mãoBut in morning slumber I gripped the slender palm of my hand
E senti a maciez da minha carneAnd I felt the soft of my flesh
E encarei minha irmã eu mesmaAnd I stared into my sister self

E a gente tava correndo, correndo, correndoAnd we was running, running, running
A gente tava subindo, a gente tava lutandoWe was climbing, we was fighting
A gente tava respirando rápidoWe was breathing fast
Orando, por favorPraying please

A gente tava cantandoWe were singing
A gente tava dançandoWe were dancing
A gente tava batendo palmasWe were clapping
Cantando, dançando, batendo palmasSinging, dancing, clapping

A gente tava voltando pras colinasWe were returning to the hills
Trazendo baldes tirados dos poçosBringing buckets drawn from the wells
Voltando pras colinasReturning from to the hills
Trazendo baldes tirados dos poçosBringing buckets drawn from the wells

Mas eu tenho que segurar minha própria mãoBut I've got to hold my own hand
Eu tenho que segurar minha própria mãoI've got to hold my own hand
E essa é minha pele que eu sintoAnd this is my skin I feel
E esses são os dentes que eu cerroAnd these are the teeth that I clench
E o avelã da minha visãoAnd the hazel of my sight
Além das cores que ela usa, são minhasPlus the colors she wears is mine
Oh, aquela cor que ela tá usando é minhaO that color she's wearing is mine

E a gente tava correndo, correndo, correndoAnd we was running, running, running
A gente tava subindo, a gente tava lutandoWe was climbing, we was fighting
A gente tava respirando rápidoWe was breathing fast
Orando, por favorPraying please

A gente tava cantandoWe were singing
A gente tava dançandoWe were dancing
A gente tava batendo palmasWe were clapping
Cantando, dançando, batendo palmasSinging, dancing, clapping

A gente tava voltando pras colinasWe were returning to the hills
Trazendo baldes tirados dos poçosBringing buckets drawn from the wells
Voltando pras colinasReturning from to the hills
Trazendo baldes tirados dos poçosBringing buckets drawn from the wells
