Círios

My child, do you see that light?
It's the city in the dark
The boat glides through the waters
And beats like a heart
Full of joy, balm, blessing

The Círio of Nazaré
You'll see, it will be, kid
Something you won't forget
To stick on your path
Like the sound of a guitar
That made you cry softly
When you see the lady
You'll feel so small

In front of the mystery that exists
In this human life of ours
You'll grow bigger than the river-sea
You'll fly higher than the weeks
You'll smile at the revealed
Fruit of the emotion on your lips
That everything is tied together
And the world is one, it's hollow

Kid, wake up and come see
The sun won't be long to rise
Come see Bethlehem
That starts to celebrate

Other Octobers you'll see
(And Octobers hold stories)
Feel the weight
When the time comes
