Paroles et traduction Milton Nascimento - Os Tambores de Minas
Era
um,
era
dois,
era
cem
It
was
one,
it
was
two,
it
was
a
hundred
Mil
tambores
e
as
vozes
do
além
A
thousand
drums
and
the
voices
of
the
beyond
Morro
velho,
senzala,
casa
cheia
Old
hill,
slave
quarters,
full
house
Repinica,
rebate,
revolteia
Echo,
beat,
revolt
E
trovão
no
céu
é
candeia
And
thunder
in
the
sky
is
a
candle
Era
bumbo,
era
surdo
e
era
caixa
It
was
a
bass
drum,
it
was
a
bass
drum
and
it
was
a
snare
Meia-volta
e
mais
volta
e
meia
Half
a
turn
and
half
a
turn
Pocotó,
trem
de
ferro
e
uma
luz
Pocotó,
iron
train
and
a
light
Procissão,
chão
de
flores
e
Jesus
Procession,
flower
floor
and
Jesus
Bate
forte
até
sangrar
a
mão
Beat
hard
until
your
hand
bleeds
E
batendo
pelos
que
se
foram
And
beat
for
those
who
have
gone
Os
batendo
pelos
que
voltaram
Beat
for
those
who
have
returned
Os
tembores
de
Minas
soarão
The
drums
of
Minas
will
sound
Seus
tambores
nunca
se
calaram
Their
drums
have
never
been
silenced
Era
couro
batendo
e
era
lata
It
was
leather
beating
and
it
was
tin
Era
um
sino
com
a
nota
exata
It
was
a
bell
with
an
exact
note
Pé
no
chão
e
as
cadeiras
da
mulata
Foot
on
the
ground
and
chairs
for
the
mulatto
woman
E
o
futuro
nas
mãos
do
menino
And
the
future
in
the
boy's
hands
Batucando
por
fé
e
destino
Drumming
for
faith
and
destiny
Bate
roupa
em
riacho
a
lavadeira
The
washerwoman
beats
her
clothes
in
the
stream
Ritmando
de
qualquer
maneira
Drumming
in
any
way
E
por
fim
o
tambor
da
musculatura
And
finally
the
drum
of
the
musculature
O
tum-tum
ancestral
do
coração
The
ancestral
thud
of
the
heart
Quando
chega
a
febre
ninguém
segura
When
the
fever
comes,
no
one
can
hold
it
Bate
forte
até
sangrar
a
mão
Beat
hard
until
your
hand
bleeds
Os
tambores
de
Minas
soarão
The
drums
of
Minas
will
sound
Seus
tambores
nunca
se
calaram...
Their
drums
have
never
been
silenced...
