Rastro da Lua Cheia

In the backyard of the house
There was a small river
That came down from the mountains
Swift, slippery

The water was crystal clear
You could see the ground
It cut through the forest
Towards the backlands

A memory still remains
Kept in the heart
And everything was celestial blue
Brazilian indigo

As soon as the year began
It was already the end of April
And the wind shepherded
Those clouds in the sky

Making the world spin
Fast like a carousel
And raising the dust
And taking off my hat

Ah, time does
Time undoes
And always goes beyond
Life comes from afar

It's like a river
For a small river, a canoe
For the big rivers, ships
And right at the end of everything
The beginning of another place
It will be as God wills
As destiny commands
In the trail of the full moon
If it arrives anywhere
Ah, time does
Time undoes
And always goes beyond

Life comes from afar
It's like a river
For a small river, a canoe
For the big rivers, ships
And right at the end of everything
The beginning of another place
It will be as God wills
As destiny commands
In the trail of the full moon
If it arrives anywhere
