Lumiar
Beto Guedes
Lumiar
Come, come to dinner
Come eat, come drink, have fun
Until Lumiar arrives
And then lie down in the cool night air
Just to be able to sleep and dream
To spend the night hunting frogs, telling stories
Of how Lumiar must be
Wake up, Lumiar, without crying
Without speaking, without wanting
Wake up in Lumiar
Get up and make coffee
Just to go out hunting and fishing
And spend the day grinding sugar cane, hunting the moon
Brightening up in Lumiar
Love, Lumiar
To live, to enjoy
To rain, to laze around
Rest your eyes, look and see and breathe
Just so as not to see time pass
To pass the time until it rains, until you remember
How Lumiar must be
Come, come to dinner
Come sleep, come dream, to live
Until Lumiar arrives
Stretch the sun on the balcony until it burns
Just to have nothing more to lose
To lose the fear, change the sky, change the air
Brighten up for good, Lumiar
