Full lyrics

Por toda lã que eu roubei do seu novelo

E o desespero dos meus olhos de manhã

E o pesadelo, e o desespero, e o pesadelo

Pra todo gelo, todo zelo e toda lã

Pra todo gelo, todo zelo e toda lã


Venha na luz de uma manhã clareando

Nos aviões, nos caminhões que vão voltar

Nos telegramas, nos postais de fim de ano

No assobio de uma corrente de ar

No assobio de uma corrente de ar


No movimento da maré dos oceanos

No minuano e num galope a beira mar

No dia a dia, mês a mês, ano após ano

No assobio de uma corrente de ar

No assobio de uma corrente de ar


No movimento da maré dos oceanos

No minuano e num galope a beira mar

No dia a dia, mês a mês, ano após ano

No assobio de uma corrente de ar

No assobio de uma corrente de ar

Translation

For all the wool I stole from your skein

And the despair in my eyes in the morning

And the nightmare, and the despair, and the nightmare

For all the ice, all the zeal and all the wool

For all the ice, all the zeal and all the wool


Come in the light of a morning clearing

In the planes, in the trucks that will return

In the telegrams, in the year-end postcards

In the whistle of a current of air

In the whistle of a current of air


In the movement of the tide of the oceans

In the minuano and in a gallop by the sea

In the day to day, month to month, year after year

In the whistle of a current of air

In the whistle of a current of air


In the movement of the tide of the oceans

In the minuano and in a gallop by the sea

In the day to day, month to month, year after year

In the whistle of a current of air

In the whistle of a current of air
