A Buscar Guarida

Searching for Shelter

A Buscar Guarida

Every time he lifted his legSempre que alçou a perna
He was roaming where to rollTeve campeando onde bolear
It was people of that kindEra gente dessa gente
Who have miles in their eyesQue tem léguas no olhar

In a pair of dark horsesNuma parelha de mouros
That insisted on not calming downQue cismavam em não tranquear
He only asked for a place from the lordsSó pedia pouso aos senhores
And a spot to unhitchE um canto pra desencilhar

The next day bright and earlyNo outro dia bem cedo
He changed his horse's fateTrocava de mouro o destino
Hat pulled low, he was offChapéu tapeado, ia embora
Leaving the trail of a wandererFicando o rastro do peregrino

He had a poncho for rain and coldTinha poncho pra chuva e frio
And dreams for a lifetimeE sonhos pra toda vida
He had an open heartTinha o coração aberto
And a restless soul searching for shelterE alma inquieta a buscar guarida

He had a poncho for rain and coldTinha poncho pra chuva e frio
And dreams for a lifetimeE sonhos pra toda vida
He had an open heartTinha o coração aberto
And a restless soul searching for shelterE alma inquieta a buscar guarida

One of the dreams was to have his ranchUm dos sonhos era ter seu rancho
With beautiful flowers and a gardenCom belas flores e um jardim
With a lovely girl waitingCom uma linda na espera
To finally end his restless searchPra busca inquieta ter seu fim

In the crazy urge to achieveNa ânsia louca de realizar
The dreams he longed forOs sonhos que ele almejou
His heart was already racingO coração já vinha ao tranco
And he grew tired of the distanceE da distância se cansou

He only found the right pathSó achou o rumo certo
When he set off for eternal lifeQuando partiu pra vida eterna
Left the dark horses in the open fieldDeixou os mouros no campo aberto
And forever rolled his legE pra sempre boleou a perna

He had a poncho for rain and coldTinha poncho pra chuva e frio
And dreams for a lifetimeE sonhos pra toda vida
He had an open heartTinha o coração aberto
And a restless soul searching for shelterE alma inquieta a buscar guarida

He had a poncho for rain and coldTinha poncho pra chuva e frio
And dreams for a lifetimeE sonhos pra toda vida
He had an open heartTinha o coração aberto
And a restless soul searching for shelterE alma inquieta a buscar guarida

Without scriptures or flowersSem escrituras nem flores
There was just a cross plantedFicou uma cruz cravada
Just a simple reminderApenas uma simples lembrança
Of someone who lived and died on the roadDe quem viveu e morreu na estrada
