Spirit voices lyrics

Artist  : Paul simon 
Song : Spirit voices
 
We sailed up a river wide as a sea 
And slept on the banks 
On the leaves of a banyan tree 
And all of these spirit voices rule the night 
 
Some stories are magical, meant to be sung 
Songs from the mouth of the river 
When the world was young 
And all of these spirit voices rule the night 
 
By moon  
We walk 
To the brujo’s door 
Along a path of river stone 
Women with their nursing children 
Seated on the floor 
We join the fevers 
And the broken bones 
 
The candlelight flickers 
The falcon calls 
A lime-green lizard scuttles down the cabin wall 
And all of these spirit voices 
Sing rainwater, sea water 
River water, holy water 
Wrap this child in mercy – heal her 
Heaven’s only daughter 
All of these spirit voices rule the night 
 
My hands are numb 
My feet were lead 
I drank a cup of herbal brew 
The sweetness in the air 
Combined with the lightness in my head 
And I heard the jungle breathing in the bamboo 
 
Saudocoes -- Greetings! 
Da licenca um momento -- Excuse me, one moment 
Te lembro -- I remind you 
Que amanha -- That tomorrow 
Sera tudo ou sera naoa -- It will be all or it
will be nothing 
Depende coracao -- It depends, heart 
Sera breve ou sera grande -- It will be brief or
it will be great 
Depende da paixao -- It depends on the passion 
Sera sujo, sera sonho -- It will be dirty, it
will be a dream 
Cuidado, coracao -- Be careful, heart 
Sera util, sera tarde -- It will be useful, it
will be late 
Se esmera, coracao -- Do your best, heart 
E confia -- And have trust 
Na forca do amanha -- In the power of tomorrow 
 
Lord of the earthquake 
My trembling bed 
The spider resumes the rhythm 
Of his golden tread 
And all of these spirit voices rule the night
