Debaixo Dos Caracóis Dos Seus Cabelos
Caetano Veloso
Under the Snails of Your Hair
One day the white sand
Your feet will touch
And it will wet your hair
The blue water of the sea
Windows and doors will open
To see you arrive
And feeling at home
Smiling, you will cry
Under the snails of your hair
A story to tell
Of a world so distant
Under the snails of your hair
A sob and the desire
To stay one more moment
The lights and colors
That you see now
In the streets where you walk
In the house where you live
You look at everything and nothing
Makes you happy
You only wish now
To return to your people
Under the snails of your hair
A story to tell
Of a world so distant
Under the snails of your hair
A sob and the desire
To stay one more moment
You walk in the afternoon
And your sad look
Lets bleed in your chest
A longing, a dream
One day I will see you
Arriving with a smile
Stepping on the white sand
That is your paradise
Under the snails of your hair
A story to tell
Of a world so distant
Under the snails of your hair
A sob and the desire
To stay one more moment
