Povo que lavas no rio
People who wash in the river
Que talhas com o teu machado
How do you carve with your axe?
As tábuas do meu caixão
The boards of my coffin
Povo que lavas no rio
People who wash in the river
Que talhas com o teu machado
How do you carve with your axe?
As tábuas do meu caixão
The boards of my coffin
Pode haver quem te defenda
There may be someone who defends you
Quem compre o teu chão sagrado
Who buys your sacred ground
Mas a tua vida não
But your life doesn't
Fui ter à mesa redonda
I went to the round table
Beber em malga que esconda
Drink in a cup that hides
O beijo de mão em mão
The kiss from hand to hand
Fui ter à mesa redonda
I went to the round table
Beber em malga que esconda
Drink in a cup that hides
O beijo de mão em mão
The kiss from hand to hand
Era o vinho que me deste
It was the wine you gave me
Água pura fruto agreste
Pure wild fruit water
Mas a tua vida não
But your life doesn't
Aromas de urze e de lama
Aromas of heather and mud
Dormi com eles na cama
I slept with them in bed
Tive a mesma condição
I had the same condition
Aromas de urze e de lama
Aromas of heather and mud
Dormi com eles na cama
I slept with them in bed
Tive a mesma condição
I had the same condition
Povo povo eu te pertenço
People people, I belong to you
Deste-me alturas de incenso
You gave me heights of incense
Mas a tua vida não
But your life doesn't
Povo que lavas no rio
People who wash in the river
Que talhas com o teu machado
How do you carve with your axe?
As tábuas do meu caixão
The boards of my coffin
Povo que lavas no rio
People who wash in the river
Que talhas com o teu machado
How do you carve with your axe?
As tábuas do meu caixão
The boards of my coffin
Pode haver quem te defenda
There may be someone who defends you
Quem compre o teu chão sagrado
Who buys your sacred ground
Mas a tua vida não
But your life doesn't
Pode haver quem te defenda
There may be someone who defends you
Quem compre o teu chão sagrado
Who buys your sacred ground
Mas a tua vida não
But your life doesn't
