Cala a Boca, Bárbara Lyrics Translation in English
Chico Buarque
Portuguese Lyrics
English Translation
Ele sabe dos caminhos dessa minha terra
He knows the paths of this land of mine
No meu corpo se escondeu, minhas matas percorreu
He hid in my body, roamed through my forests
Os meus rios, os meus braços
My rivers, my arms
Ele é o meu guerreiro nos colchões de terra
He is my warrior in the earthy beds
Nas bandeiras, bons lençóis
In the flags, in good sheets
Nas trincheiras, quantos ais, ai
In the trenches, how many sighs, oh
Cala a boca - olha o fogo!
Shut up - look at the fire!
Cala a boca - olha a relva!
Shut up - look at the grass!
Cala a boca, Bárbara
Shut up, Barbara
Cala a boca, Bárbara
Shut up, Barbara
Cala a boca, Bárbara
Shut up, Barbara
Cala a boca, Bárbara
Shut up, Barbara
Ele sabe dos segredos que ninguém ensina
He knows the secrets that nobody teaches
Onde guardo o meu prazer, em que pântanos beber
Where I keep my pleasure, in which swamps to drink
As vazantes, as correntes
The ebb, the currents
Nos colchões de ferro ele é o meu parceiro
In the iron beds, he is my partner
Nas campanhas, nos currais
In the campaigns, in the pens
Nas entranhas, quantos ais, ai
In the entrails, how many sighs, oh
Cala a boca - olha a noite!
Shut up - look at the night!
Cala a boca - olha o frio!
Shut up - look at the cold!
Cala a boca, Bárbara
Shut up, Barbara
Cala a boca, Bárbara
Shut up, Barbara
Cala a boca, Bárbara
Shut up, Barbara
Cala a boca, Bárbara
Shut up, Barbara
Cala a boca, Bárbara
Shut up, Barbara
Cala a boca, Bárbara
Shut up, Barbara
Cala a boca, Bárbara
Shut up, Barbara
