We sailed up a river wide as a sea
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
And all of these spirit voices rule the night
Along a path of river stone
Women with their nursing children
A lime-green lizard scuttles down the cabin wall
And all of these spirit voices
Sing rainwater, sea water
Wrap this child in mercy â?? heal her
All of these spirit voices rule the night
I drank a cup of herbal brew
Combined with the lightness in my head
And I heard the jungle breathing in the bamboo
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
The spider resumes the rhythm
And all of these spirit voices rule the night
