Na Ribeira Deste Rio

Dori Caymmi Dori Caymmi

By the River of This Stream

On the bank of this river
Or on that riverbank
My days go by
Nothing stops me, drives me
Does it make me hot or cold

I'll see what the river does
When the river does nothing
I see the traces he brings
In a drawn-out sequence
Of what was left behind

I watch and meditate
Not right on the river that passes by
But just what I'm thinking
Because his good is that he does
I don't see it passing

I'm going to the riverbank
What is here or there
And your course leaves me
Because whether I saw him or not
It passes and I trust
It passes and I trust

On the bank of this river
Or on that riverbank
My days go by
Nothing stops me, drives me
Does it make me hot or cold

I'll see what the river does
When the river does nothing
I see the traces he brings
In a drawn-out sequence
Of what was left behind

I watch and meditate
Not right on the river that passes by
But just what I'm thinking
Because his good is that he does
I don't see it passing

I'm going to the riverbank
What is here or there
And your course leaves me
Because whether I saw him or not
It passes and I trust
It passes and I trust

It passes and I trust
It passes and I trust
It passes and I trust
