Gilberto Gil "Joia Rara" lyrics

Translation to:en

Joia Rara

No meio do rioA voz do barqueiroLança o desafioBuda há de escutar

No meio da noiteNo meio do frioAo fisgar do açoiteBuda há de encontrar

Justo, justo meigoEntre o belo e o feioLonge do receioPerto do sonhar

Onde o amor se escondeOnde o amor se amparaUma joia raraUm certo penar

Uma joia raraUm certo penar.

Rare Jewelry

In the riverThe boatman's voiceSet's the challangeBuddha shall hear it

In the middle of the nightIn the freezing coldFishing the scourgeBuddha shall find

Right, right gentleBetween the beautiful and the uglyAway from the fearNext to the dream

Where love hidesWhere love sustainsA rare jewelryA certain pity

A rare jewelryA certain pity
