Amigo é Casa (feat. Zélia Duncan)

A friend is made little by little like a home 
with patience, to last forever
You’ll need a lot of brick and earth
To prepare plaster, build trays
Use the wisdom of a clay man
who builds his residence with art
the foundation must be very resistant
So it can protect from the rains and winds 
And we have to stick a lot of tiles
and jatoba beams
fertilize the garden and plant a lot of flowers
don't miss a bower to remember times gone
because white hair will appear
we won’t die with the rock
That are hard to walk
you have to see the feet
full of calluses
knowing that nightingales will bring afterglows
I cry to imagine
do not miss the guitars for the hillbilly party!
lots of corn burning at the stake
and hot peppers stuffed with ginger
warming hearts
The house is friendship built gradually
we want boundaries and freedom to speak 
With lattices made of rare materials 
and high balconies, with a very wide gates
So we can enter smiling
in uncertain times
without fanfare, without causing inconvenience
A friend who when he wants to be present
it becomes almost transparent so it can’t be being perceived
A Friend, comes to stay, arrives and gets close,
To hug, kiss, praise, and bless
A Friend welcomes, receives and gifts
and offers a place to sleep and eat
Friend who is friend does not let you down
offers us the best we have and what we don’t even have
when you don’t have it, pretend you do,
do what you can and your heart will be shared like bread.
