Filho do Mato (feat. Daniel)

A trail of cattle on the beaten grass
Down at the road bend, a painful horn
A cowboy's yell
And my heart is like a lost ox

Those with the land in their veins, those with roots in the ground
Living in the city mixes longing with hallucination
Who is a son of the woods calls the woods father
Who lives in longing
Only goes where longing goes

My childish heart plays at being brave
On the porch floor that rests this mind
To the sound of a guitar
That by God consoles our loneliness

I put my hand out and felt it dripping on my palm
It seems like God knows that rain calms me
And even here far away
A drop is enough to wash my soul

And if it rains harder it turns into a flood
That takes my luck down the longest road
May it be understood
The lesson that in life nothing is taken
