Moradia

Dwelling

Moradia

I live there in a corner where nobody bothers meEu moro lá num recanto onde ninguém me amola
In a house at the foot of the mountain lives me and the guitarNuma casa ao pé da serra mora eu e a viola
The Toad lives in the Marsh, the Thrush in the cageO Sapo mora no Brejo, o Sabiá na gaiola
My voice lives in my chest and my verses in my headMinha voz mora no peito e meus versos na cachola

Armadillo lives in the hole, spider lives in the webTatu mora no buraco, aranha mora na teia
The Ring lives on the finger, the earring lives on the earO Anel mora no dedo, o brinco mora na oreia
Heart lives in the chest, blood lives in the veinCoração mora no peito, o sangue mora na veia
Good people live at home, criminals in jailGente boa mora em casa, criminoso na cadeia

Pig lives in the pigsty, the ox lives in the pasturePorco mora no chiqueiro, o boi mora na invernada
Fisherman lives in the hut, cowboy on the roadsPescador mora no rancho, boiadeiro nas estradas
Bohemian lives on the street, dew in the dawnBoêmio mora na rua, sereno na Madrugada
The Moon lives in the sky and the wind has no dwellingA Lua mora no céu e o vento não tem morada

The partridge lives in the field, the Great Kiskadee in the backlandsA perdiz mora no campo o bem te vi no sertão
Whale lives in the sea, minnow in the streamBaleia mora no mar lambari no ribeirão
Rat lives in the granary, bat in the cellarRato mora no paiol o morcego no porão
I live in her arms and she in my heartEu moro nos braços dela e ela em meu coração

Clown lives in the circus, rhyme in poetryPalhaço mora no circo, a rima na poesia
The Uirapuru in the forest, joy lives in the partyO Uirapuru lá na mata, na festa mora a alegria
The rich live in the downtown, poor in the outskirtsO rico mora no centro, pobre na periferia
In a humble house in Nazareth lived the Virgin MaryNum casebre em Nazaré morou a Virgem Maria
