Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Quando cessam as chuvas

When the rains cease

E aparecem as praias

And the beaches appear

As águas claras do rio

The clear waters of the river

Trazem notícias do vento

Bring news from the wind


A flor selvagem no cio

The wild flower in heat

Sente o estremecimento

Feels the shudder

É o Verão ciumento

It's the jealous Summer

Que vem chegando ligeiro

That comes swiftly arriving


O sol, no centro do alvo

The sun, in the center of the target

Cegando os olhos do arqueiro

Blinding the archer's eyes

A pele preta queimada

The burnt black skin

O corpo é uma fogueira

The body is a bonfire


Fogueira

Bonfire

Mas quando a sombra me abraça

But when the shadow embraces me

No aconchego da esteira

In the comfort of the mat

O rio de beira a beira

The river from bank to bank

Brilham seus diamantes

Shine its diamonds

E o remo do meio dia

And the noonday oar

Pêndulo que fere a água

Pendulum that wounds the water

É o calor das tartarugas

It's the heat of the turtles

Que plantam ovos na praia

That lay eggs on the beach
