Elis Regina "Casa no Campo" lyrics

Translation to:en

Casa no Campo

Eu quero uma casa no campoOnde eu possa compor muitos rocks ruraisE tenha somente a certezaDos amigos do peito e nada maisEu quero uma casa no campoOnde eu possa ficar no tamanho da pazE tenha somente a certezaDos limites do corpo e nada maisEu quero carneiros e cabras pastando solenesNo meu jardimEu quero o silêncio das línguas cansadasEu quero a esperança de óculosMeu filho de cuca legalEu quero plantar e colher com a mãoA pimenta e o salEu quero uma casa no campoDo tamanho ideal, pau-a-pique e sapéOnde eu possa plantar meus amigosMeus discos e livrosE nada mais

House in the country

I want a house in the countryOne where I can write many folk-rock songs and be sure only of my dear friends' truthfulness and nothing elseI want a house in the countryOne where I can become as huge as peace and be sure only of the limits of my body and nothing elseThere, I wanna see sheeps and goats grazing solemnly in the gardenThere, I wanna hear the silence of lips, tired of talking in discordThere, I want hope to wear sunglasses and my son to be in peace with his mindThere, I want to seed and harvest pepper and salt with my own handsI want a house in the country, one of ideal size, with wattle and daub walls and thatched roofsOne where I can sow there my friends, my records and books and nothing else
