A Luz De Tieta
Margareth Menezes
The Light of Tieta
Every day is the same day,
Life is so petty
Nothing new under the sun
You have to hide in the dark
Those who bathe in the light
Underneath the sheet
In this land, pain is great
And ambition is small
Carnival and soccer
Those who don't pretend,
Those who don't lie,
Those who enjoy and suffer the most
Are the ones who serve as a lighthouse
There is someone in us
In many within us
This someone
Who shines brighter than
Millions of suns
And whom darkness
Also knows
There is someone here
Deep down inside you,
Inside me
Who screams for anyone who wants to listen
When singing like this:
Every night is the same night,
Life is so narrow
Nothing new under the moon
Everyone wants to know
Who you sleep with
Nothing can prosper
It's Sunday, It's February,
It's the seventh of September,
Soccer and carnival
Nothing changes, it's all dark
As far as I remember
A pain that is always the same.
There is someone in us
In many within us
This someone
Who shines brighter than
Millions of suns
And whom darkness
Also knows
There is someone here
Deep down inside you,
Inside me
Who screams for anyone who wants to listen
When singing like this:
Hey,
Hey, Hey, Hey,
It's the moon, it's the sun, it's the light of Tieta,
Hey, Hey!
Hey,
Hey, Hey, Hey,
It's the moon, it's the sun, it's the light of Tieta,
Hey, Hey!
