Mafalda Arnauth "Povo Que Lavas No Rio" lyrics

Translation to:en

Povo Que Lavas No Rio

Povo que lavas no rioE talhas com teu machadoAs tábuas do meu caixãoPode haver quem te defendaQuem compre o teu chão sagradoMas a tua vida não

Fui ter à mesa redondaBeber em malga que escondaO beijo, de mão em mãoEra o vinho que me desteÁgua pura, fruto agresteMas a tua vida não

Aromas de urze e de lamaDormi com eles na camaTive a mesma condiçãoPovo, povo, eu te pertençoDeste-me alturas de incensoMas a tua vida não

A People That Washes in the River

A people that washes in the riverAnd hews with your axeThe planks of my coffinThere may be those who will defend youWho buy your sacred landBut not your life

I went to the round tableTo drink in the bowl that it hidesThe kiss, hand in handWas the wine that you gave mePure water, wild fruitBut not your life

Aromas of heather and of earthI slept with them in bedI had the same conditionPeople, people, I belong to youYou gave me the heights of incenseBut not your life
