Igarapé Das Mulheres

Time takes everythingO tempo leva tudo
Time takes lifeO tempo leva a vida
Outside, the daisies bring colorLá fora as margaridas fazem cor

I remember the joyEu lembro a alegria
Floating in those watersBoiar naquelas águas
And seeing the washerwomen washing away the painE ver as lavadeiras lavando a dor

And they washed my lost hopeE lavavam a minha esperança perdida
Of growing up there in the streamDe crescer lá no igarapé
And they washed away the fear I had of lifeE lavavam o medo que tinha da vida
And now, what is my fear?E agora o meu medo o que é?

My ship, a log, sailedA minha nave, um tronco navegava
The stars, among the stilt housesAs estrelas, entre as palafitas
And the washerwomenE as lavadeiras

In my adventures, PoraquêNas minhas aventuras, Poraquê
Pirarara, Piranha, Manatee, Boto, IgaraPirarara, Piranha Peixe-Boi, Boto, Igara

And they washed my corrupted passionE lavavam a minha paixão corrompida
The women of the streamAs mulheres do igarapé
The Joanas, Marias, goddesses, MargaridasAs Joanas, Marias, deusas, Margaridas
Will wash away whatever comesLavarão o que ainda vier
