Lyrics
Quando o sol sobe no cyou,
Chegam ao jardim os velhos,
Honorveis presidentes
Dos bancos de pau vermelhos;
Analisam movimentos,
Conferem as floraes,
Medem o canto das aves,
Do aval s estaes.
No h nada no universo
Que acontea sem o no e sem o sim
Dos velhos do jardim.
Depois, chamam os pombos…
De po e milho do festins
E os pombos falam com eles
Na lngua dos querubins.
Quando a tarde se despede,
Voltam de novo a ser velhos;
Seguem o rasto do sol,
No lago feito de espelhos
No h nada no universo
Que acontea sem o no e sem o sim
Dos velhos do jardim.
O dia vai-se acabando
No seu lento e frio afago,
Um dia vo subir ao cyou
Montados nos cisnes do lago.
No h nada no universo
Que acontea sem o no e sem o sim
Dos velhos do jardim.
Lyrics translation
When the sun rises on the cyou,
Come to the garden the old,
Honorable presidents
From the red wooden benches;
Analyze movements,
Check out the flowers,
Measure the corner of birds,
From the endorsement of these.
There's nothing in the universe
What happens without the no and without the yes
The Old Men in the garden.
Then they call the pigeons…
Of Po and corn of the feasts
And the pigeons talk to them
In the language of the Cherubim.
When the afternoon says goodbye,
They're old again;
Follow the trail of the sun,
On the lake made of mirrors
There's nothing in the universe
What happens without the no and without the yes
The Old Men in the garden.
The day is running out
In your slow and cold cuddle,
One day I'll go up to cyou
Mounted on the lake Swans.
There's nothing in the universe
What happens without the no and without the yes
The Old Men in the garden.
