Estória de Cantador
Djavan
Story of the Singer
A queen appeared to me like a star on the ground
On the neckline the sianinha and the row of buttons
I complimented your dress to say it was noble
Made an offered king I am at your command
The orders were served with much love and passion
From a thousand promises a single man emerges
At the feast of the baby Jesus after two years of courtship
He took a boy to work and almost got me killed
What's left of the two of us isn't even enough to share
The worst came later when I was able to check
From this son's features you can read my story
A suffering that comes from far away
Covered in glory
