Paul Simon - Spirit Voices lyrics

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

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

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

The candlelight flickers, the falcon calls
A lime-green lizard scuttles down
The cabin wall
And all of these spirit voices

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

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

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

The lord of the earthquake, my trembling bed
The spider resumes the rhythm
Of it's golden thread
And all of these spirit voices rule the night

And all of these spirit voices rule the night
And all of these spirit voices rule the night
