Romance para quem chega

One of these days, Rosaflor looked at a dreamUm dia desses, Rosaflor olhava um sonho
In the clear stream, next to the shade of the groveNa sanga clara, junto à sombra do arvoredo
She kept a kiss to deliver when she returnedGuardava um beijo pra entregar quando voltasse
And a word that was still a secretE uma palavra que ainda pouco era um segredo

Mariano Luna in the shed was preparing a mateMariano Luna no galpão cevava um mate
Taking care of a bay horse that was restless with a bridleCuidando um baio que escarceava com um buçal
It was when the afternoon was painted with autumnFoi quando a tarde então pintou-se de outono
It was his beauty that appeared at the gateEra sua linda que apontava no portal

Rosaflor arrived quietly as good news arriveRosaflor chegou de manso como chegam
Breeze and sun, and a new dayNotícias boas, brisa e sol, e um novo dia
And then she spoke of the many moons that would comeE então contou das tantas luas que viriam
Until the ranch was filled with joyAté que o rancho ia encher-se de alegria

Mariano Luna couldn't contain his smileMariano Luna nem cabia em seu sorriso
He had a mate and another without noticingTomou um mate e mais outro sem notar
He passed his hand over his woman's bellyPassou a mão sobre o ventre de sua prenda
And saw that time had waits to deliverE viu que o tempo tinha esperas pra entregar

All joy summed up in a hugToda alegria resumiu-se num abraço
And in a silence like the calm of the countrysideE num silêncio igual à calma do rincão
When a clear song was heard from a mud puddleQue se ouviu um canto claro de um barreiro
Building the ranch in the shed windowMontando o rancho na janela do galpão

It was a song of announcement they knewFoi um cantar de anunciação eles sabiam
Another couple building a ranch in the homelandOutro casal que erguia um rancho na querência
It was destiny delivering under the moonlightEra o destino que entregava à luz da lua
To leave roots and descendants next to the flowerPra junto à flor deixar raiz e descendência

And Rosaflor spoke of the house and the dollsE Rosaflor falou da casa e das bonecas
Of the good things that this life would give themDas coisas boas que essa vida ia lhes dar
Mariano Luna already thought of a new ranchMariano Luna já pensou num rancho novo
And of taming a little horse for the boyE de amansar um peticinho pra o piá

Now it was just the time of these moonsAgora era só o tempo dessas luas
That know well the right cycle of waitsQue sabem bem o ciclo certo das esperas
To bring life in a smile of a boyTrazerem a vida num sorriso de um piá
Or of another flower that will come with springOu de outra flor que chegará com a primavera

One of these days Rosaflor looked at a dreamUm dia desses Rosaflor olhava um sonho
