PAUL SIMON lyrics : "spirit voices"

We sailed up a river wide as a sea
And slept on the banks
On the leaves of a banyan tree

And all of these spirit voices rule the night

Some stories are magical, meant to be sung

Song from the mouth of the river
When the world was young
And all of these spirit voices rule the night


By moon
We walk

To the brujo's door
Along a path of river stone
Women with their nursing children

Seated on the floor
We join the fevers
And the broken bones


The candlelight flickers
The falcon calls

A lime-green lizard scuttles down the cabin wall
And all of these spirit voices
Sing rainwater, sea water

River water, holy water
Wrap this child in mercy - heal her
Heaven's only daughter

All of these spirit voices rule the night
My hands were numb
My feet were lead



I drank a cup of herbal brew

Then the sweetness in the air
Combined with the lightness in my head
And I heard the jungle breathing in the bamboo


Saudac~oes greetings!
D'a lic'enca um momento excuse me, one moment

Te lembr'o I remind you
Que amanh~a that tomorrow
Ser'a tudo ou ser'a naoa it will be all or it will

Be nothing
Depende, cora,c~ao it depends, heart
Ser'a breve ou ser'a grande it will be brief or it will

Be great
Depende da paix~ao it depends on the passion
Ser'a sujo, ser'a sonho it will be dirty, it will

Be a dream
Cuidado, cora,c~ao be careful, heart
Ser'a 'util, ser'a tarde it will be useful, it will be

Late
Se esmera, cora,c~ao do your best, heart
E confia and have trust

Na for,ca do amanh~a in the power of tomorrow

Lord of the earthquake

My trembling bed
The spider resumes the rhythm
Of his golden thread

And all of these spirit voices rule the night
