Araguaia
Marcelo Barra
Araguaia
Long nights, early mornings
So much beauty in one place
Clean water as far as the eye can see
No, it never comes back
Slowly abandoned
A star crossed the sky
Staging a theme of tenderness
A nightmare of reason
My Araguaia
Its sands covered my feet
Its charm turned tears
Into a lullaby for both of us
And in the hammock, lost in thought
I dream dreams that are already within me
I feel the life I lead here
I'll never forget
