Top of the levee

No Top da Barragem

Top of the levee

Velho no jardimOld man in the garden
Plantando todo seu amorPlanting all his love
As frutas caíramThe berries toppled over
E a madressilva entupiu a estrada, éAnd the honeysuckle choked the road, yeah

Fomos até o topo da barragemWent to the top of the levee
E pulamos pedras na águaAnd we skipped rocks on the water

Velho de manhãOld man in the morning
Você vê que era tudo que ele sabiaYou see it was all he knew
A vida dele se tornou seu jardimHis life had become his garden
E ele deu tudo que colheu, éAnd he gave away everything that he grew, yeah

Fomos até o topo da barragemWent to the top of the levee
E pulamos pedras na águaAnd we skipped rocks on the water
Ele parecia saber de tudoHe seemed to know about everything
Ele encheu minha cabeça quando estava vaziaHe filled my head when it was hollow

Velho disse que tinha que irOld man said he had to go
Velho tinha que ampliar sua almaOld man had to magnify his soul
