Lyrics
Dorme o sol à flor do Chico, meio-dia
Tudo esbarra embriagado de seu lume
Dorme ponte, Pernambuco, Rio, Bahia
Só vigia um ponto negro: o meu ciúme
O ciúme lançou sua flecha preta
E se viu ferido justo na garganta
Quem nem alegre, nem triste, nem poeta
Entre Petrolina e Juazeiro canta
Velho Chico, vens de Minas
De onde o oculto do mistério se escondeu
Sei que o levas todo em ti
Não me ensinas
E eu sou só eu só eu só eu
Juazeiro, nem te lembras dessa tarde
Petrolina, nem chegaste a perceber
Mas na voz que canta tudo ainda arde
Tudo é perda, tudo quer buscar, cadê?
Tanta gente canta
Tanta gente cala
Tantas almas esticadas no curtume
Sobre toda estrada, sobre toda sala
Paira monstruosa
A sombra do ciúme
Lyrics translation
Sleep The Sun at the flower of Chico, noon
All bumped intoxicated from his fire
Sleep bridge, Pernambuco, Rio, Bahia
Just watch one black spot: my jealousy
Jealousy threw her black arrow
And found himself wounded right in the throat
Who neither cheerful, nor sad, nor poet
Between Petrolina and Juazeiro sings
Old Chico, you come from mines
From where the hidden mystery hid
I know you have it all in you
You don't teach me
And I'm just me just me just me
Juazeiro, you don't even remember that afternoon.
Petrolina, you didn't even get it.
But in the voice that sings everything still burns
Everything is loss, everything you want to seek, where?
So many people sing
So many people shut up
So many souls stretched out in the tannery
On every road, on every room
Monstrous Paira
The shadow of jealousy
