A Buscar Guarida
Cristiano FantinelLyrics
Translation
Sempre que alçou a perna
Every time he lifted his leg
Teve campeando onde bolear
He had been scouting where to wander
Era gente dessa gente
He was one of those people
Que tem léguas no olhar
Who have leagues in their gaze
Numa parelha de mouros
In a pair of mules
Que cismavam em não tranquear
That insisted on not halting
Só pedia pouso aos senhores
He only asked for lodging from the landowners
E um canto pra desencilhar
And a corner to unsaddle
No outro dia bem cedo
Early the next day
Trocava de mouro o destino
He changed the fate of the mule
Chapéu tapeado, ia embora
Hidden hat, he'd depart
Ficando o rastro do peregrino
Leaving behind the trail of the pilgrim
Tinha poncho pra chuva e frio
He had a poncho for rain and cold
E sonhos pra toda vida
And dreams for a lifetime
Tinha o coração aberto
His heart was open
E alma inquieta a buscar guarida
And a restless soul seeking shelter
Um dos sonhos era ter seu rancho
One of the dreams was to have his ranch
Com belas flores e um jardim
With beautiful flowers and a garden
Com uma linda na espera
With a beauty waiting
Pra busca inquieta ter seu fim
For the restless search to end
Na ânsia louca de realizar
In the wild eagerness to achieve
Os sonhos que ele almejou
The dreams he aimed for
O coração já vinha ao tranco
The heart was already faltering
E da distância se cansou
And grew tired of the distance
Só achou o rumo certo
He only found the right path
Quando partiu pra vida eterna
When he embarked on the eternal life
Deixou os mouros no campo aberto
He left the mules in the open field
E pra sempre boleou a perna
And forever ceased to roam
" Sem escrituras nem flores
"Without writings or flowers
Ficou uma cruz cravada
Remained a cross embedded
Apenas uma simples lembrança
Just a simple remembrance
De quem viveu e morreu na estrada
Of one who lived and died on the road
