Boa Noite
Milton Nascimento
Good Night
Came to wish you a good night
Came to join the party
Broke the court's rules
Wearing a crown on my head
Girls bringing liqueurs
Boys playing tambourines
I want this life
I want the loves
Everything leads me in your light
See that time doesn't stop
Even if the night lasts
Look at the joy on the face
Wanting to lead us
Let it run through the alleys
Poor of the nation
And suddenly unite us
In a surprising no
Came to dance all night
I'll dance until tomorrow
Drums suffering lashes
From my people, my clan
Everything resonates, every person
Responds to the sound of thunder
I want the stars, I intend to see them
I carry questions in my hands
See that time doesn't stop
Even if the night lasts
Look at the joy on the face
Like morning rising
Come child come dance
No one is this man, this sea
If the beat is of a slave
All hope is of a king
I'm the captain of the night
I'm the moon now in silence
Voice in my fate
Echoing what I am
Come to leave in the early morning
A trace of warmth
Came to know what will remain
When the drum falls silent
He, um, He
See that time doesn't stop
Even if the night lasts
Look at the joy on the face
Like morning rising
Come child come dance
No one is this man, this sea
If the beat is of a slave
All hope is of a king
I'm the captain of the night
I'm the moon now in silence
Voice in my fate
Echoing what I am
Came to leave in the early morning
A trace of warmth
Came to know what will remain
When the drum falls silent
