Povo Que Lavas No Rio

People Who Wash in the River

Povo Que Lavas No Rio

People who wash in the riverPovo que lavas no rio
And carve with your axeE talhas com o teu machado
The boards of my coffinAs tábuas do meu caixão
People who wash in the riverPovo que lavas no rio
Who carve with your axeQue talhas com o teu machado
The boards of my coffinAs tábuas do meu caixão
There may be those who defend youPode haver quem te defenda
Who buy your sacred groundQuem compre o teu chão sagrado
But not your lifeMas a tua vida não

I went to the round tableFui ter à mesa redonda
To drink from a bowl that hidesBeber em malga que esconda
The kiss from hand to handO beijo de mão em mão
I went to the round tableFui ter à mesa redonda
To drink from a bowl that hidesBeber em malga que esconda
The kiss from hand to handO beijo de mão em mão
It was the wine you gave meEra o vinho que me deste
Pure water, wild fruitÁgua pura, fruto agreste
But not your lifeMas a tua vida não

Scents of heather and mudAromas de urze e de lama
I slept with them in bedDormi com eles na cama
I had the same conditionTive a mesma condição
Scents of heather and mudAromas de urze e de lama
I slept with them in bedDormi com eles na cama
I had the same conditionTive a mesma condição
People, people, I belong to youPovo, povo, eu te pertenço
You gave me heights of incenseDeste-me alturas de incenso
But not your lifeMas a tua vida não
