Canto do Povo de Um Lugar/Gema (Song of the People of a Village/
(Caetano Veloso)
Todo dia
o sol levanta
E a gente canta
ao sol de todo dia
Finda a tarde
a terra cora
E a gente chora
Porque finda a tarde
Quando a noite
A lua mansa
E a gente dança
Venerando a noite
English translation
Every day
The sun rises
And we sing
Under the sun of every day.
At twilight
The Earth blushes
And we weep
at the end of the twilight.
When at night
The moon is serene
And we dance
In worship of the night.
