Tronco Submerso

Submerged Trunk

Tronco Submerso

Everything I loved was hereTudo o que eu amei estava aqui
From the beaten ground to the açaí bowlDo chão batido à cuia de açaí
That's why I didn't sing about CopacabanaPor isso não cantei Copacabana
Even though it was so coolAinda que ela fosse tão bacana
In the shine of the postcards I receivedNo brilho dos postais que eu recebi

Everything I loved was hereTudo que eu amei estava aqui
From the corn cob to the miriti treeDa mão de milho ao pé de miriti
And so I didn't talk about the Eiffel TowerE assim não falei da Torre Eiffel
Or Chanel perfumesDos perfumes de Chanel
Nor the blue sky of TennesseeNem do céu azul do Tenesse

Sorry my brother, my rustic songDesculpe meu irmão meu canto agreste
Nourished by the jambu you didn't wantNutrido do jambu que não quisestes
Stained with tijuco and grassManchado de tijuco e de capim
Please forgive my poor versePerdoa por favor meu pobre verso
A rough submerged trunkUm tosco tronco submerso
In the nameless river that goes away from meNo rio sem nome que se vai de mim
