To The River

Para O Rio

To The River

Eu ando para o rioI walk to the river
À espera de ouvir o cantar da águaWaiting to hear the water sing
Sento-me ao lado delaI sit down beside her
Tentando ouvir o silencioso toqueTrying to hear the quiet ring

As folhas quebram a quedaThe leaves break the falling
Da luz solar que cobre estes bancosOf the sunlight that covers these banks
Eu vi a água a correrI've seen the water running
Eu vi a cor a lavarI've seen the color wash away

Eu venho para o rioI come to the river
Pesado e cansado até os ossosHeavy and tired to the bone
Deitei-me ao lado delaI lay down beside her
Sepultada como uma pedra afundando lentamenteGrave as a slowly sinking stone

Eu vejo claramente o fundoI see clear to the bottom
Eu vejo como as sombras brincamI watch how the shadows play
Eu vi a água a cairI've seen the water falling
Eu vi as cores a sangrarI've seen the colors bleed away

A luz se torna prataThe light turns silver
Drenando as horas do diaDraining the hours from the day
O peso da água puxa os ramos ao longo das margensThe weight of the water pulls at the branches along the banks
E rasga nos ramos caídos e carrega os ramos quebrados em seu caminhoAnd it tears at the fallen and it carries the broken on its way

Eu vi a água a rolarI've seen the water rolling
Eu vi as cores a desaparecerI've seen the colors fade away
Eu vi a água a rolarI've seen the water rolling
Eu vi as cores a desaparecerI've seen the colors fade away
