Xique-xique Lyrics Translation in English

Eu vi o cego lendo a corda da viola

I saw the blind man reading the strings of the guitar

Cego com cego no duelo do sertão

Blind against blind in the duel of the hinterland

Eu vi o cego dando nó cego na cobra

I saw the blind tying a blind knot in the snake

Vi cego preso na gaiola da visão

Saw a blind man trapped in the cage of vision

Pássaro preto voando pra muito longe

Black bird flying far away

E a cabra cega enxergando a escuridão

And the blind goat seeing the darkness

Eu vi a Lua na cacunda do cometa

I saw the moon on the back of the comet

Vi a zabumba e o fole a zabumbá

Saw the drum and the bellows drumming

Eu vi o raio quando o, céu todo corisca

I saw the lightning when the sky sparkled all over

E o triângulo engulindo faiscá

And the triangle swallowing sparks

Vi a galáctea branca na galáctea preta

Saw the white galaxy in the black galaxy

Eu vi o dia e a noite se encontrá

I saw the day and night meeting

Eu vi o pai eu vi a mãe eu vi a filha

I saw the father, I saw the mother, I saw the daughter

Via novilha que é filha da novilhá

Saw the heifer that is the daughter of the heifer

Eu vi a réplica da réplica da bíblia

I saw the replica of the replica of the Bible

Na invenção dum cantador de ciençá

In the invention of a singer of science

Vi o cordeiro de Deus num ovo vazio

Saw the Lamb of God in an empty egg

Fiquei com frio te pedi pra me esquentá

I got cold, I asked you to warm me up

Eu vi o cego lendo a corda da viola

I saw the blind man reading the strings of the guitar

Cego com cego no duelo do sertão

Blind against blind in the duel of the hinterland

Eu vi o cego dando nó cego na cobra

I saw the blind tying a blind knot in the snake

Vi cego preso na gaiola da visão

Saw a blind man trapped in the cage of vision

Asa branca asa branca asa branca

White wing, white wing, white wing

E a cabra cega enxergando a escuridão

And the blind goat seeing the darkness

Eu vi a Lua na cacunda do cometa

I saw the moon on the back of the comet

Vi a zabumba e o fole a zabumbá

Saw the drum and the bellows drumming

Eu vi o raio quando o, céu todo corisca

I saw the lightning when the sky sparkled all over

E o triângulo engulindo faiscá

And the triangle swallowing sparks

Vi a galáctea branca na galáctea preta

Saw the white galaxy in the black galaxy

Eu vi o dia e a noite se encontrá

I saw the day and night meeting

Eu vi o pai eu vi a mãe eu vi a filha

I saw the father, I saw the mother, I saw the daughter

Via novilha que é filha da novilhá

Saw the heifer that is the daughter of the heifer

Eu vi a réplica da réplica da bíblia

Na invenção dum cantador de ciençá
