Zé Ramalho
Portuguese Lyrics
English Translation
Do norte do norte
From the north of the north
As águias decolam
The eagles take flight
Para vôos sem volta.
For flights without return.
Lá, tudo começa:
There, everything begins:
A voz do mudo,
The voice of the mute,
A vez do mundo.
The turn of the world.
No norte do norte
In the north of the north
As águas brotam do solo
The waters spring from the ground
E o fogo se consome,
And the fire consumes itself,
Queimando a cera do tempo
Burning the wax of time
No norte do norte
In the north of the north
Mora deus
God resides
O dono da sorte
The owner of luck
Pelo menos à noite:
At least at night:
Lá se consuma o pecado
There, sin is consummated
De cada um,
By each one,
Surgido do zero.
Arising from zero.
No norte do norte,
In the north of the north,
Da terra é soprado
From the earth is blown
O barro humano,
The human clay,
Bafo de vida.
Breath of life.
