O Menino e o Rio
O corpo do rio prateia
Quando a Lua se abre
Passarinhos do mato gostam
De mim e de goiaba
Uma rã me benzeu
Com as mãos na água
Com os fios de orvalho
Aranhas tecem a madrugada
Era o menino e os bichinhos
Era o menino e o Sol
O menino e o rio
Era o menino e as árvores
Cresci brincando no chão
Entre formigas
Meu quintal é maior
Do que o mundo
Por dentro de nossa casa
Passava um rio inventado
Tudo o que não invento
É falso
The Boy and the River
The body of the river turns silver
When the Moon opens up
Birds from the bushes like
Me and guava
A frog blessed me
With hands in the water
With dew threads
Spiders weave the dawn
It was the boy and the little animals
It was the boy and the Sun
The boy and the river
It was the boy and the trees
I grew up playing on the ground
Among ants
My backyard is bigger
Than the world
Inside our house
Ran an invented river
Everything I don't invent
Is false
