Spirit Voices
Paul Simon Song Lyrics
We sailed up a river wide as a sea And slept on the banks On the leaves of a banyan tree And all of these spirit voices rule the night Some stories are magical, meant to be sung Song from the mouth of the river When the world was young And all of these spirit voices rule the night By moon We walk To the brujo's door Along a path of river stone Women with their nursing children Seated on the floor We join the fevers And the broken bones The candlelight flickers The falcon calls A lime-green lizard scuttles down the cabin wall And all of these spirit voices Sing rainwater, sea water River water, holy water Wrap this child in mercy - heal her Heaven's only daughter All of these spirit voices rule the night My hands were numb My feet were lead I drank a cup of herbal brew Then the sweetness in the air Combined with the lightness in my head And I heard the jungle breathing in the bamboo Saudac~oes Greetings! D'a lic'enca um momento Excuse me, one moment Te lembr'o I remind you Que amanh~a That tomorrow Ser'a tudo ou ser'a naoa It will be all or it will be nothing Depende, cora,c~ao It depends, heart Ser'a breve ou ser'a grande It will be brief or it will be great Depende da paix~ao It depends on the passion Ser'a sujo, ser'a sonho It will be dirty, it will be a dream Cuidado, cora,c~ao Be careful, heart Ser'a 'util, ser'a tarde It will be useful, it will be late Se esmera, cora,c~ao Do your best, heart E confia And have trust Na for,ca do amanh~a In the power of tomorrow Lord of the earthquake My trembling bed The spider resumes the rhythm Of his golden thread And all of these spirit voices rule the night |
