SINGER: Paul Simon

SONG: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
songs 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 are numb
my feet were lead
i drank a cup of herbal brew
the sweetness in the air
combined with the lightness in my head
and i heard the jungle breathing in the bamboo
Saudocoes -- greetings!
da licenca um momento -- excuse me, one moment
te lembro -- i remind you
que amanha -- that tomorrow
sera tudo ou sera naoa -- it will be all or it will be nothing
depende coracao -- it depends, heart
sera breve ou sera grande -- it will be brief or it will be great
depende da paixao -- it depends on the passion
sera sujo, sera sonho -- it will be dirty, it will be a dream
cuidado, coracao -- be careful, heart
sera util, sera tarde -- it will be useful, it will be late
se esmera, coracao -- do your best, heart
e confia -- and have trust
na forca do amanha -- in the power of tomorrow
Lord of the earthquake
my trembling bed
the spider resumes the rhythm
of his golden tread
and all of these spirit voices rule the night
