O Cantador (Dori Caymmi & Nelson Motta)
Amanhece, preciso ir
meu caminho é sem volta e sem ninguém
Eu vou prá onde a estrada levar
Cantador só sei cantar
Ah! eu canto a dor
canto a vida e a morte, canto o amor
Cantador não escolhe o seu cantar
Canta o mundo que vê
e pro mundo que vi meu canto é dor
mas é forte prá espantar a morte
prá todos ouvirem minha voz
mesmo longe
De que servem meu canto e eu
se em meu peito há um amor que não morreu
Ah! se eu soubesse ao menos chorar
cantador só sei cantar
Ah! Eu canto a dor
de uma vida perdida sem amor

ReplyDeleteLike a lover, the morning sun
Slowly rises and kisses you awake
Your smile is soft and fuzzy
As you let it play upon your face
Oh, how I dream
I might be like the morning sun to you
Like a lover, the river wind
Sighs and ripples its fingers through your hair
Upon your cheek it lingers
Never having known a sweeter place
Oh, how I dream
I might be like the river wind to you
How I envy a cup that knows your lips
Let it be me, my love
And a table that feels your fingertips
Let it be me, let me be your love
Bring an end to the endless days and nights
Without you
Like a lover, the velvet moon
Shares your pillow and watches while you sleep
Its light arrives on tiptoe
Gently taking you in its embrace
Oh, how I dream
I might be like the velvet moon to you
Oh, how I dream
I might be like the river wind to you
How I envy a cup that knows your lips
Let it be me, my love
And a table that feels your fingertips
Let it be me, let me be your love
Bring an end to the endless days and nights
Without you
Like a lover, the velvet moon
Shares your pillow and watches while you sleep
Its light arrives on tiptoe
Gently taking you in its embrace
Oh, how I dream
I might be like the velvet moon to you
I might be like the velvet moon to you
I might be like the velvet moon to you...
