Recantiga - Ao Vivo

Era as folhas espalhadas, muito recalcadas do correr do ano
A recolherem uma a uma por entre a caruma do volta ramo
E era a noite a trovoada que encheu na enxurrada aquela poça morta
De repente em ricochete, a refazer-se em sete nuvens gota a gota
E era de repente o rio, num só rodopio a subir o monte
Decorrer contra a corrente assim de trás para a frente a voltar à fonte
E um monte de cartas espalhadas des-desmoronando-se todo em castelo
E era linha duma vida sendo recolhida de volta ao novelo
E era aquelas coisas tontas, as afrontas que eu digo e que me arrependo
A voltarem para mim como se assim tivessem remendo
E era eu um passarinho caído no ninho à espera do fim
E eras tu, até que enfim, a voltar para mim
E era eu um passarinho caído no ninho à espera do fim
E eras tu, até que enfim, a voltar para mim
E era eu, um passarinho caído no ninho à espera do fim
E eras tu, até que enfim, a voltar para mim
A voltar para mim

Recantiga - Live

The scattered leaves, downtrodden by the passing year,
Are gathered back one by one among the undergrowth around the returning branch.
And it was the night storm that filled up that stagnant puddle in the flood
Suddenly bouncing back up in ricochet, reforming into seven clouds drop by drop.
And suddenly it was the river, in one swirling motion climbing the mountain
Flowing against the current this way from back to front, returning to the source.
And a pile of scattered letters, falling apart in a castle
And it was the thread of a life being gathered back into the ball.
And it was those silly things, the offences that I say and that I regret
Coming back to me as if this way they had a solution.
And it was me, a fledgling fallen into the nest, awaiting the end.
And it was you, finally, returning to me.
And it was me, a fledgling fallen into the nest, awaiting the end.
And it was you, finally, returning to me.
And it was me, a fledgling fallen into the nest, awaiting the end.
And it was you, finally, returning to me.
Returning to me.
