O Cantador
Dori Caymmi
The Singer
Dawning, I need to go
My path is one way and with no one
I go where the road takes me
Singer, I only know how to sing
Ah! I sing the pain, I sing life and death, I sing love
Ah! I sing the pain, I sing life and death, I sing love
Singer doesn't choose what to sing
Sings the world it sees
And for the world that saw my song is pain
But it's strong to drive away death
For all to hear my voice
Even far away...
What good are my song and I
If in my chest there's a love that didn't die
Ah! If only I knew how to cry
Singer, I only know how to sing
Ah! I sing the pain of a life lost without love
Ah! I sing the pain of a life lost without love
