Ponteio

Strumming

Ponteio

It was one, it was two, it was a hundredEra um, era dois, era cem
The world was coming and no oneEra o mundo chegando e ninguém
Knew I was a guitar playerQue soubesse que eu sou violeiro
Who could give me love or cash...Que me desse o amor ou dinheiro...

It was one, it was two, it was a hundredEra um, era dois, era cem
They came to ask me:Vieram prá me perguntar:
"Hey you, where you headed"ô voce, de onde vai
Where you from?De onde vem?
Just spill what you gotDiga logo o que tem
To share"...Prá contar"...

Standing in the middle of the worldParado no meio do mundo
I felt my moment arriveSenti chegar meu momento
I looked at the world and saw nothingOlhei pro mundo e nem via
No shadow, no sunNem sombra, nem sol
No wind...Nem vento...

I wish right nowQuem me dera agora
I had my guitarEu tivesse a viola
To sing...(4x)Prá cantar...(4x)

To sing!Prá cantar!

It was a day, it was brightEra um dia, era claro
Almost noonQuase meio
It was a spoken songEra um canto falado
Without strummingSem ponteio
Violence, guitarViolência, viola
Guitar playerVioleiro
Death all aroundEra morte redor
The whole world...Mundo inteiro...

It was a day, it was brightEra um dia, era claro
Almost noonQuase meio
There was someone who sworeTinha um que jurou
To break meMe quebrar
But I don’t remember painMas não lembro de dor
Or fearNem receio
I only knew the waves of the sea...Só sabia das ondas do mar...

They threw the guitar into the worldJogaram a viola no mundo
But I went down deep to find itMas fui lá no fundo buscar
If I grab the guitarSe eu tomo a viola
I’ll strum!Ponteio!
I can’t stop my songMeu canto não posso parar
No!...Não!...

I wish right nowQuem me dera agora
I had my guitarEu tivesse a viola
To sing, to singPrá cantar, prá cantar
Strumming!...(4x)Ponteio!...(4x)

Strummmmmm!Pontiarrrrrrrr!

It was one, it was two, it was a hundredEra um, era dois, era cem
It was a day, it was brightEra um dia, era claro
Almost noonQuase meio
To wrap up my songEncerrar meu cantar
Seems rightJá convém
Promising a new strumPrometendo um novo ponteio
One day I knowCerto dia que sei
CompletelyPor inteiro
I hope it won’t take longEu espero não vá demorar
That day I’m sure will comeEsse dia estou certo que vem
I’ll say right away what I cameDigo logo o que vim
To findPrá buscar
Running through the worldCorrendo no meio do mundo
I won’t leave the guitar behindNão deixo a viola de lado
I’ll see the time changedVou ver o tempo mudado
And a new place to sing...E um novo lugar prá cantar...

I wish right nowQuem me dera agora
I had my guitarEu tivesse a viola
To singPrá cantar
Strumming!...(4x)Ponteio!...(4x)

La, laia, laia, laia...Lá, láia, láia, láia...
La, laia, laia, laia...Lá, láia, láia, láia...
La, laia, laia, laia...Lá, láia, láia, láia...

I wish right nowQuem me dera agora
I had my guitarEu tivesse a viola
To singPrá cantar
Strumming!...(4x)Ponteio!...(4x)

To singPrá cantar
Strummmmmm!...(4x)Pontiaaaaarrr!...(4x)

I wish right nowQuem me dera agora
I had my guitarEu tivesse a viola
To sing!Prá cantar!
