Certas canções - Milton Nascimento

Certas canções que ouço cabem tão dentro de mim que perguntar carece como não fui eu que fiz?

Certa emoção me alcança corta-me a alma sem dor certas canções me chegam como se fosse o amor

Contos da água e do fogo cacos de vidas no chão cartas do sonho do povo é o coração do cantor

Vida e mais vida oferida chuva, outono, ou mar carvão e giz, abrigo gesto molhado no olhar

Calor que invade, arde, queima, encoraja amor que invade, arde, carece de cantar

Certain Songs…

Certain songs as I’ve listened Fit so well inside of me I ask myself the question How was their author not me?

Certain emotions find me Painless, they open my heart Certain songs come to embrace me Almost as though it were love

Stories of water and fire Shards of lives left on the ground Letters of the dream of the people are the singer’s heart

Life and more life offered Tempest, October or sea Charcoal and chalk, a shelter And water that shifts in a glance

Heat that invades, aches, burns, encouragement Love that invades, aches, needing to be sung

~ Milton Nascimento/Fernando Brant, from the incredible 70s.

While it lasts, here’s a YouTube vid with the original track - start it up, then switch back to the lyrics here to avoid the slideshow of bus-stations and nonsense… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DW8rFunsCIg
