Full lyrics

Seixo miúdo me ensina o silêncio das pedras

O silêncio da boca do povo me fez cantador

Minha alma pagã não conhece o sabor do pecado


Lua miúda me ensina a leveza dos astros

Feito Neil Armstrong te rogo me faz saltador

Pra que eu pule porteira e barreira e não haja obstáculo


Curva miúda me ensina o segredo da estrada

Os perigos de vida e de morte da estrada onde eu vou

Minha alma alazã só conhece o sabor do galope...

(Onde se ouve lua ouça-se curva)


Fera miúda me ensina os segredos da selva

Já que homem é o lobo do homem, o homem cordeiro

se fez caçador

Minha língua ferina só cala no fim do espetáculo...

Translation

Small pebble teaches me the silence of stones

The silence of the people's mouth made me a singer

My pagan soul does not know the taste of sin


Small moon teaches me the lightness of the stars

Like Neil Armstrong, I beg you, make me a jumper

So that I jump gate and barrier and there is no obstacle


Small curve teaches me the secret of the road

The dangers of life and death of the road where I go

My sorrel soul only knows the taste of the gallop...

(Where you hear moon, hear curve)


Small wild animal teaches me the secrets of the jungle

Since man is the wolf of man, the lamb man

became a hunter

My sharp tongue only silences at the end of the show...
