lyrics

Descendo a estrada da serra, eu vi
uma menina desperta, eu vi
uma criança descalça, eu vi
um sonho que não se alcança;
você pedindo uma seda,
você fingindo distância.

Depois da curva da estrada ouvi
trovões e gritos no ar,
um barco perdido em meio ao mar,
um sonho em meio a nada;
sussurra no meu ouvido
palavras que não consigo
entender.


-----


Riding the mountain road I saw

A girl with a smile about me,

A child with her barefoot on the dust I saw,

A dream that cannot be reached.

And you were lightening a spliff

And you pretending not to see me.

Beyond the curve of the road, I heard,

Thunder and screams in the air

A boat was lost in the ocean far,

A dream that amounts to nothing,

Whispering in my ear

Words that I simply do not understand.
