Balão Dourado

I dreamed that I was a golden balloon
And leaning on the starry mantle
Of the sky
I saw
People
Singing lulled
Like in the sway
Of a carousel
In the dream I saw the accordion
And the bass drum
Beating so hard
Like a heart
In the ting-ling of the triangle
The dust that rises from the ground
Another liquor
To intoxicate the heart
Because in this step
To the sound of the shuffle
Until dawn, whatever God wants
I flew... I flew...
To find my love
And when I kissed your face
The moon came to admire us
It was Saint John's
And the love burns hotter
Next to the bonfire flame
New dreams will unfold
