Full lyrics
Um minguante arreganha o céu
Fogaréu, mataria a brilhar
Abro a porta e a cancela
Do meu lugar
Morre a força do grito do Sol
Um sereno se veste de luz
As veredas revelam sonhos
Brancos e azuis
Numa renda renascença
Nasce um vestido de amor
Canto a sorte em incelença
Num gemido aboiador
Nas profundas da escuridão
O mugido do tempo no ar
E a lembrança que voa longe
Vem descansar
Meu olhar se afoga no rio
Em memórias de anos sem fim
E mães d’água de canto sombrio
Cantam pra mim
Translation
A waning moon grins across the sky
Blaze, undergrowth shining
I open the door and the gate
Of my place
The strength of the Sun's cry dies
A dew dresses itself in light
The paths reveal dreams
White and blue
In Renaissance lace
A dress of love is born
I sing fortune in sacredness
With a cowboy's mournful chant
In the depths of darkness
The bellow of time in the air
And the memory that flies far
Comes to rest
My gaze drowns in the river
In memories of endless years
And water mothers with somber song
Sing to me
