povo que lavas no rio

povo que lavas no rioe talhas com o teu machadoas tábuas do meu caixão.pode haver quem te defendaquem compre o teu chão sagradomas a tua vida não.

fui ter à mesa redondabebi em malga que me escondeo beijo de mão em mão.era o vinho que me destea água pura, puro agrestemas a tua vida não.

aromas de luz e de lamadormi com eles na camative a mesma condição.povo, povo, eu te pertençodeste-me alturas de incenso,mas a tua vida não.

povo que lavas no rioe talhas com o teu machadoas tábuas do meu caixão.pode haver quem te defendaquem compre o teu chão sagradomas a tua vida não.

You People who wash (clothes) in the river

You people who wash in the riverand carve with your axethe woods of my coffin.There might be who defend youwho may buy your sacred landbut not your life.

I went to the round tabledrunk in malga that hides methe kiss from hand to hand.It was the wine that you gave methe pure water, pure starkbut not your life.

Smells of light and mudI slept with them in the bedI had the same condition.People, people, I belong to youyou gave me the heights of an incense,but not you life.

You people who wash in the riverand carve with your axethe woods of my coffin.There might be who defend youwho may buy your sacred landbut not your life.
