Pedras Que Cantam Lyrics in English Fagner
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Pedras Que Cantam by Fagner from Portuguese to English.
Quem é rico mora na praia
Whoever is rich lives on the beach
Mas quem trabalha nem tem onde morar
But whoever works doesn't even have a place to live
Quem não chora dorme com fome
Whoever doesn't cry sleeps hungry
Mas quem tem nome joga prata no ar
But those with a name throw money in the air
Ô tempo duro no ambiente
Oh, tough times all around
Ô tempo escuro na memória
Oh, dark times in memory
O tempo é quente
Times are hot
E o dragão é voraz
And the dragon is voracious
Vamos embora de repente
Let's leave suddenly
Vamos embora sem demora
Let's leave without delay
Vamos pra frente que pra trás não dá mais
Let's move forward, because going back is no longer possible
Pra ser feliz num lugar
To be happy somewhere
Pra sorrir e cantar
To smile and sing
Tanta coisa a gente inventa
We invent so many things
Mas no dia que a poesia se arrebenta
But on the day that poetry shatters
É que as pedras vão cantar
That's when the stones will sing
Quem é rico mora na praia
Whoever is rich lives on the beach
Mas quem trabalha nem tem onde morar
But whoever works doesn't even have a place to live
Quem não chora dorme com fome
Whoever doesn't cry sleeps hungry
Mas quem tem nome joga prata no ar
But those with a name throw money in the air
Ô tempo duro no ambiente
Oh, tough times all around
Ô tempo escuro na memória
Oh, dark times in memory
O tempo é quente
Times are hot
E o dragão é voraz
And the dragon is voracious
Vamos embora de repente
Let's leave suddenly
Vamos embora sem demora
Let's leave without delay
Vamos pra frente que pra trás não dá mais
Let's move forward, because going back is no longer possible
Pra ser feliz num lugar
To be happy somewhere
Pra sorrir e cantar
To smile and sing
Tanta coisa a gente inventa
We invent so many things
Mas no dia que a poesia se arrebenta
But on the day that poetry shatters
É que as pedras vão cantar
That's when the stones will sing

Did you like this lyrics translation?
voraz — voracious
Voraz translates to "voracious" or "greedy." It's a strong, evocative adjective that isn't commonly found in everyday song lyrics, making it stand out.
In "Pedras Que Cantam," the lyric "O tempo é quente e o dragão é voraz" (The time is hot and the dragon is voracious) uses this word to describe a powerful, consuming force, likely symbolizing the harsh realities and challenges of life. This metaphorical use adds depth and intrigue to the song's message.
