Paroles et traduction Almir Guineto - Sou Eu

Sou Eu

Sou eu que rezo na cachoeira
Que tem Xangô na pedreira
Que leva toda a zoeira pra lá, pra lá

Sou eu, em noites de lua cheia
Pisando em grãos de areia
Te levo pra ouvir sereia cantar, cantar

Sou eu, o samba que contagia
Que acende a tua alegria
A dona da poesia à sonhar, sonhar

Sou eu, que traz no peito escondida
A dor de uma ferida
Que ainda faz o meu pranto rolar

Me lembro aquele dia
Naquele adeus, eu chorei
Pensei que era mandinga
Ajoelhei

Entrei em várias igrejas
E quase perdi a fé
Você voltou, que alegria, axé!

It's Me

I'm the one who prays at the waterfall
Who has Xangô in the quarry
Who takes all the noise there, over there

It's me, on nights of the full moon
Stepping on grains of sand
I take you to hear the siren sing, sing

It's me, the samba that infects you
That lights up your joy
The lady of poetry to dream, to dream

It's me, who carries in my hidden chest
The pain of a wound
That still makes my tears roll

I remember that day
In that goodbye, I cried
I thought it was black magic
I knelt down

I went to several churches
And I almost lost my faith
You came back, what joy, axé!
