Eu e o Rio
Noel Guarany
Me and the River
Quenching the thirst of the land
In the drowsiness of the banks
Over a mirror of images
The river flows peacefully
A clear road of sap
Moon of silver stars
Where the gold fights
In the mouths of the thorny bushes
(Pilgrim of the paths
Heading towards the horizons
Goodbye in the warmth of the nests
Waving the dream of the mountains
My body, a lost boat
Drifting through songs unfolding
Flowing in the river of life
Wandering, always wandering)
Leaning into sleep on the bank
The ferry glides dreaming
Through clouds praying
For the mysteries of the water lilies
Never returning to the path
Fainting in its longings
Diving through the distances
Not quite knowing what it wants
(My body, a lost boat
Drifting through songs unfolding
Flowing in the river of life
Wandering, always wandering
Pilgrim of the paths
Heading towards the horizons
Quenching the thirst of the earth
Living the thirst to roam)
