Spirit Voices

[Verse 1]

We sailed up a river wide as a sea

Slept on the banks on the leaves of a banyan tree

And all of these spirit voices rule the night

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus 1]

By moon we walk to the brujo's door

Along a path of river stones

Women with their nursing children seated on the floor

We join the fevers and the broken bones

[Verse 3]

The candlelight flickers, the falcon calls

A lime-green lizard scuttles down the cabin wall

And all of these spirit voices

[Verse 4]

Sing rain water, 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

[Chorus 2]

My hands were numb, my feet were lead

I drank a cup of herbal brew

Then the sweetness in the air combined with the lightness in my head

And I heard the jungle breathing in the bamboo

[Bridge]

Saudações

Dá licença um momento

Te lembro que amanhã

Será tudo ou será nada

Depende, coração

Será breve ou será grande

Depende da paixão

Será sujo, será sonho

Cuidado, coração

Será útil, será tarde

Se esmera, coração

E confia na força do amanhã

[Verse 5]

The lord of the earthquake, my trembling bed

The spider resumes the rhythm of its golden thread

And all of these spirit voices rule the night

[Outro]

And all of these spirit voices rule the night

And all of these spirit voices rule the night
