O Ouro E A Madeira

The Gold and the Wood

O Ouro E A Madeira

I didn't want to be the seaNão queria ser o mar
I was fine with the springMe bastava a fonte
Much less to be the roseMuito menos ser a rosa
Just simply the thornSimplesmente o espinho

I didn't want to be the roadNão queria ser caminho
Just the shortcutPorém o atalho
Much less to be the rainMuito menos ser a chuva
Only the dewApenas o orvalho

I didn't want to be the dayNão queria ser o dia
Just the dawnSó a alvorada
Much less to be the fieldMuito menos ser o campo
I was fine with the grainMe bastava o grão

I didn't want to be lifeNão queria ser a vida
Just the momentPorém o momento
Much less to be the concertMuito menos ser concerto
Only the songApenas a canção

Gold sinks in the seaO ouro afunda no mar
Wood stays on topMadeira fica por cima
Oysters come from the mudOstra nasce do lodo
Creating fine pearlsGerando pérolas finas
