Abaçaiado

Blessed, my lord
Where do the wings of the flying creature come from
Who blows together the houses and brings shade in the heat

Clouded, it cleared up
Mudded ground doesn't hide the color
Of the memories I carry, my forgiveness and my resentment

Enlightened station
Where the girls play at the gate
Sometimes they are ladies, sometimes they are hours

And what remains senseless
I get lost, without direction
I get upset and swim the São Francisco River
Seeking calm for my heart

Embraced, that's how I am
Embracing the pain, that's how I go
Embraced

Embraced got irritated
On the other side stay those who didn't cross
If today embraced sings
It's because yesterday it already cried

Joyful, it hit the mark
That the guilty is the same as the one who acquitted
We are kisses of departure and hugs of arrival

And what remains senseless
I get lost, without direction
I get upset and swim whatever is necessary
In search of a harbor for my heart

Embraced, that's how I am
Embracing the pain, that's how I go
Embraced
