Ventania (De Como Um Homem Perdeu Seu Cavalo e Continuou Andando)
Geraldo Vandré
Gust of Wind (How a Man Lost His Horse and Kept Walking)
My lord, my lady
I will speak with precision
Do not deny me at this moment
Your warmth, your attention
The song I bring now
Speaks of the whole nation
I walked around the world
Wanting so much to find
A place to be happy
Where I could change
But life didn't change
Just changing places
The death I saw in the field
I also found at sea
Cowboys, sailors alike
In the same waiting
May one day life change
In everything and everywhere
To cheer up I have the guitar
To sing, my intention
To wait I have the certainty
That I keep in my heart
To arrive there's so much road
To run my truck
I've already let go of my horse
I've already left the plantation
I've even been a soldier
Today much more loved
I'm a truck driver
I've already let go of my horse
I've already left the plantation
I've even been a soldier
Today much more loved
I'm a truck driver
I've spent a lot of hope
I've followed many illusions
I've cried like a child
Behind a procession
But I've been brave
When I needed to
Love for the pretty girl
Respect for the opposite lane
Longing turns to dust
On the road and in the heart
Genuine laughter, open heart
I'm a truck driver
If you don't live right
If you don't listen to your heart
Don't come too close
I don't forgive betrayal
Genuine laughter, open heart
I will sing my song
From September to February
I won't deny what comes
Traveling the whole country
North, south, backlands and sea
I've learned to be so quick
That no one will hold me back
I've been a cowboy and a sailor
In the countryside and on the coast
I'll be a singer first
Singing not for money
For a just general longing
I'll be a singer first
Singing not for money
For a just general longing
Singing for a just general longing
