Depois dos Temporais

After the Storms

Depois dos Temporais

They always lived on the same boatSempre viveram no mesmo barco
They were cut from the same clothForam farinha do mesmo saco
From the same navy, from the same queenDa mesma marinha, da mesma rainha
Under the same flagSob a mesma bandeira
Waving on the mastTremulando no mastro
And so, they followed the starsE assim, foram seguindo os astros

They cut the ties and the knotsCortaram as amarras e os nós
Leaving behind the port and the dockDeixando pra trás o porto e o cais
Yelling until losing their voiceBerrando até perder a voz
In search of the immenseEm busca do imenso
Of the most intense silenceDo silêncio mais intenso
That is after the stormsQue está depois dos temporais

And so, they always moved forwardE assim, foram sempre em frente
Making love across the seven seasFazendo amor pelos sete mares
Filling the water with seaweed and fishInchando a água de alga e peixe
Following the winds, the tides, and the currentsSeguindo os ventos, as marés e as correntes
And the path of the dolphinsE o caminho dos golfinhos
The trail of the whalesA trilha das baleias

And there were no reefsE não havia arrecifes
Nor sandbanksNem bancos de areia
Nor fears, nor more painsNem temores, nem mais dores
There was no fatigueNão havia cansaço
There was only, there was onlySó havia, só havia
Blue and spaceAzul e espaço

And so, they always moved forwardE assim, foram sempre em frente
Making love across the seven seasFazendo amor pelos sete mares
Filling the water with seaweed and fishInchando a água de alga e peixe
Following the winds, the tides, and the currentsSeguindo os ventos, as marés e as correntes
And the path of the dolphinsE o caminho dos golfinhos
The trail of the whalesA trilha das baleias

And there were no reefsE não havia arrecifes
Nor sandbanksNem bancos de areia
Nor fears, nor more painsNem temores, nem mais dores
There was no fatigueNão havia cansaço
But there was only, there was onlyMas só havia, só havia
Blue and spaceAzul e espaço
