Full lyrics
Dizem que sou um riacho
De água doce no cio
Que se derrama no rio
Pra abraçar o oceano
Que sou assim como um pano
Que se entrega pra agulha
Pra desenhar a fagulha
Da vida do seu bordado
Sou um amor desgarrado
Pra longe de quem me quiz
Pensamento não digo
Mas eu penso
Que minnha alma
Já teve pesadelo
Minha calma possui um desmantelo
Ressonando na sombra do passado
No presente escaldado malassombro
Se assombra quem vem me assombrar
Me invulto no véu da ligeireza
Mudo o rumo que tem a correnteza
Só pra ver o barreiro
Encher e sangrar
Translation
They say I am a stream
Of freshwater in heat
That pours into the river
To embrace the ocean
That I am like a cloth
That surrenders to the needle
To draw the spark
Of life in its embroidery
I am a love adrift
Far from whoever wanted me
I don't say what I think
But I do think
That my soul
Has already had nightmares
My calm holds a disarray
Resonating in the shadow of the past
In the scalded present, an evil haunting
Whoever comes to haunt me gets haunted
I wrap myself in the veil of swiftness
I change the course of the current
Just to see the mud pit
Fill up and bleed
