The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Amálgama" by Zé Ramalho.

Lyrics

És a fonte maior do meu desejo
És a única fortaleza mansa
És o algo misterioso vento
Cataventos que rodam no sertão
És o amálgama da minha couraça
Ventanias que passam no grotão
És a música fina da madeira
Mesmo o cão de cabeças a puxar
És a última gota do orvalho
Do compasso que morde a esperança
És a lâmina quente da madeira
Lavadeiras que lavam o sertão
És a lança no meio do canteiro
Companheiros de tudo o que cantou
És a lã do camelo e do carneiro
Desde a dor do começo do pomar

Lyrics translation

You are the greatest source of my desire
You're the only soft fortress
You're the something mysterious wind
Windbreaks rotating in the hinterland
You are the amalgam of my breastplate
Windows that pass in the grotto
You're the fine music of wood
Even the dog of heads to pull
You're the last drop of dew
From the compass that bites hope
You're the hot blade of wood
Washing machines that wash the backcountry
You're the spear in the middle of the bed
Companions of all that sang
You are the wool of the camel and the Ram
Since the pain of the beginning of the orchard
