Pronúncia do Norte

Northern Pronunciation

Pronúncia do Norte

There is a harbinger of deathHá um prenúncio de morte
From deep where I come fromLá do fundo donde eu venho
The ancients call it a whipOs antigos chamam-lhe relho
New rich are bad luckNovos ricos são má sorte

It's the Northern pronunciationÉ a pronúncia do Norte
Fools call it clumsyOs tontos chamam-lhe torpe

Weak hemisphere, other strongHemisfério fraco, outro forte
Noon don't be sadMeio-dia não sejas triste
I don't know if the compass existsA bússola não sei se existe
And the plan may failE o plano talvez aborte

Neither war in neighborhood or courtNem guerra em bairro ou corte
It's the Northern pronunciationÉ a pronúncia do Norte
It is a harbinger of deathÉ um prenúncio de morte
The river runs to the seaCorre o rio para o mar

I have no boatmanNão tenho barqueiro
I won't even rowNem hei de remar
I look for waysProcuro caminhos
New to walkNovos para andar

You picked the branchesColheste os ramos
Where did they land?Onde pousavam
From frost to pearlsDa geada às pérolas
The springs have dried upAs fontes secaram

The river runs to the seaCorre o rio para o mar
And there is a harbinger of deathE há um prenúncio de morte

And the webs that glazeE as teias que vidram
In the windowsNas janelas
They wait for a boatEsperam um barco
Similar to themParecido com elas

I have no boatmanNão tenho barqueiro
I won't even rowNem hei de remar
I look for waysProcuro caminhos
New to walkNovos para andar

It's the Northern pronunciationÉ a pronúncia do Norte
The river runs to the seaCorre o rio para o mar

And the cobwebs that flutter in the windowsE as teias que vibram nas janelas
They are waiting for a boat similar to themEsperam um barco parecido com elas

I have no boatmanNão tenho barqueiro
I won't even rowNem hei de remar
I look for new paths to walkProcuro caminhos novos para andar

It's the northern pronunciationÉ a pronúncia do norte
The river runs to the seaCorre o rio para o mar
