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 that I was a guitar playerQue soubesse que eu sou violeiro
To give me love or cashQue 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 meVieram pra me perguntar
Hey you, where you going?Ô você, onde vai
Where you from?De onde vem?
Just say what you gotDiga logo o que tem
To sharePra 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 windNem vento

I wish right nowQuem me dera agora
I had my guitarEu tivesse a viola
To singPra cantar

To sing!Pra 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 worldMundo 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 seaSó 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
Strumming!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 singPra cantar, pra cantar
Strumming!Ponteio!
(Everyone strum along)(Todo mundo pontear)
Strum!Pontear!

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 end my songEncerrar meu cantar
It’s timeJá 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 findPra buscar
Running in the middle of 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 singE um novo lugar pra cantar

I wish right nowQuem me dera agora
I had my guitarEu tivesse a viola
To singPra cantar
Strumming!Ponteio!

La, la, la, la, laLá, láia, láia, láia
La, la, la, la, laLá, láia, láia, láia
La, la, la, la, laLá, láia, láia, láia

I wish right nowQuem me dera agora
I had my guitarEu tivesse a viola
To singPra cantar
Strumming!Ponteio!

To singPra cantar
Strum!Pontiar!

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