Raízes
João Paulo e Daniel
Roots
When the leaves start to fall
And the wind carries them from the ground
Longing stirs in my chest
And takes me back to the backlands
Where the song of some thrush
Sing loudly the stories from there
As someone who confesses to God
Through a prayer
Where the Sun burns everything to see
And where life can be born
Even if it's from the middle of the rocks
No rain, no watering
Oh, if I could go back in time
And live every moment that memory brings me now
Ah, I would be a boy again
With the right to my nonsense
And run across the field
I know that the river sails to the sea
I know the dream cannot die
That's why there are certain things
That we cannot forget
Like a groaning ox cart
Like the blooming of a flower
Like the Sun behind the mountains
Saying he's going to sleep
Swallows dancing in the sky
Singers singing cordel
They are roots from our land that we don't have here
Oh, if I could go back in time
And live every moment that memory brings me now
Ah, I would be a boy again
With the right to my nonsense
And run across the field
Oh, if I could go back in time
And live every moment that memory brings me now
Ah, I would be a boy again
With the right to my nonsense
And run across the field
