Full lyrics
Quantos aqui ouvem os olhos eram de fé
Quantos elementos amam aquela mulher
Quantos homens eram inverno, e outros verão
Outonos caindo secos no solo da minha mão
General entre cabeças na ponta do esporão
A folha do não me toque e o medo da solidão
Veneno meu companheiro desafeta o cantador
E desemboca no primeiro, assim diz o meu amor
É quando vento sacode a cabeleira, e a trança toda vermelha
Um olho cego vagueia procurando por um
É quando vento sacode a cabeleira, e a trança toda vermelha
Um olho cego vagueia procurando por um
Translation
How many here listen, their eyes were of faith
How many elements love that woman
How many men were winter, and others summer
Autumns falling dry on the soil of my hand
General among heads on the tip of the spur
The touch-me-not leaf and the fear of loneliness
Poison, my companion, disaffects the singer
And flows into the first one, so says my love
It's when the wind shakes the hair, and the braid all red
A blind eye wanders looking for one
It's when the wind shakes the hair, and the braid all red
A blind eye wanders looking for one
