Full lyrics
Querubim já fechou
Morri de sede
Tantas águas rolaram, meu amor
Tantos balanços de rede
No sonho de um sonhador
Quanta água, tanta sede
Quantas ruas, tanto chão
Quantas praias de água verde
Tantas chuvas de verão
Quantas luas, tantas vezes
Quando medo, tantos não
Quantos lábios, tantos beijos
Tantas chuvas de verão
Translation
Cherubim has already closed
I died of thirst
So many waters rolled, my love
So many hammock swings
In the dream of a dreamer
How much water, so much thirst
How many streets, so much ground
How many beaches of green water
So many summer rains
How many moons, so many times
When fear, so many no's
How many lips, so many kisses
So many summer rains
