Força Estranha
Caetano Veloso
Strange Force
I saw a boy running
I saw the time
Playing around the path of that boy
I put my feet in the stream
And I think I never took them out
The Sun still shines on the road, and I never passed by
I saw the woman preparing
Another person
Time stopped for me to look at that belly
Life is a friend of art
It's the part that the Sun taught me
The Sun that crosses this road that never passed by
That's why a force leads me to sing
That's why this strange force
That's why I sing, I can't stop
That's why this immense voice
I saw many white hairs
On the artist's forehead
Time doesn't stop and yet he never ages
He who knows the game
Of the fire of things that are
It's the Sun, it's the time, it's the road, it's the foot and it's the ground
I saw many men fighting
I heard their screams
I was at the bottom of every hidden desire
And the most certain thing of all things
Is not worth a path under the Sun
And the Sun on the road, it's the Sun on the road, it's the Sun
That's why a force leads me to sing
That's why this strange force
That's why I sing, I can't stop
That's why this immense voice
That's why a force leads me to sing
That's why this strange force in the air
That's why I sing, I can't stop
That's why this immense voice
That's why a force leads me to sing
That's why this strange force in the air
That's why I sing, I can't stop
That's why this immense voice
