English Translation

Recomeçando das cinzas

Starting again from the ashes

Eu faço versos tão claros

I write verses so clear

Projeto sete desejos na fumaça do cigarro

I project seven wishes in the smoke of the cigarette

Eu penso na blusa branca de renda que dei pra ela

I think about the white lace blouse I gave her

Na curva de suas ancas

In the curve of her hips

Quando escanchada na sela

When snug in the saddle


Lembro um flamboyant vermelho

I remember a red flamboyant

No desmantelo da tarde

In the chaos of the afternoon

A mala azul arrumada

The blue suitcase packed

Que projetava a viagem

That projected the journey


Recomeçando das cinzas

Starting again from the ashes

Vou recompondo a paisagem

I am recomposing the landscape

Lembro um flamboyant vermelho

I remember a red flamboyant

No desmantelo da tarde

In the chaos of the afternoon


E agora penso na réstia

And now I think about the streak

Daquela luz amarela

Of that yellow light

Que escorria do telhado

That dripped from the roof

Pra dourar os olhos dela

To gild her eyes


Recomeçando das cinzas

Starting again from the ashes

Vou renascendo pra ela

I am being reborn for her

E agora penso na réstia

And now I think about the streak

Daquela luz amarela

Of that yellow light


E agora penso que a estrada

And now I think that the road

Da vida, tem ida e volta

Of life, has a departure and a return

Ninguém foge do destino

No one escapes destiny

Esse trem que nos transporta

This train that transports us


E agora penso que a estrada

And now I think that the road

Da vida, tem ida e volta

Of life, has a departure and a return

Ninguém foge do destino

No one escapes destiny

Esse trem que nos transporta

This train that transports us
