Paroles et traduction Raízes Caboclas - Caminhos de Rio

Caminhos de Rio

Nos caminhos desse rio
Muita história pra contar
Navegar nessa canoa
É ter o mundo pra se entranhar

Cada canto esconde um conto
Cada homem e mulher
Tem a fé, a força e a história
Pra contar pra quem quiser

Tem um bicho visagento
Que aparece no terreiro
Tem um rezador
Tem um santo catingueiro
Tem a cobra-grande
Que aparece no arrombado
Tem cuia de caridade
Pra espantar o mau olhado

Tem o boto sonso
Que aparece nos festejos
Pra fazer as moças
Liberarem seus desejos

Todos os mistérios
Dessa mata e dessa água
Esse povo usa
Pra espantar a mágoa
Pra sobreviver
E explicar a dor
O azar e a sorte
A desgraça e o amor

Paths of the River

In the paths of this river
There is much history to tell
To sail in this canoe
Is to have the world to venture into

Each corner hides a tale
Each man and woman
Has faith, strength, and a story
To tell to whomever wants to listen

There is a strange creature
That appears in the churchyard
There is a healer
There is a fetid saint
There is the great serpent
That appears in the rapids
There is a gourd of charity
To ward off the evil eye

There is the sly river dolphin
That appears at the festivals
To make the young women
Reveal their desires

All the mysteries
Of this forest and this water
These people use
To ward off sorrow
To survive
And to explain pain
Bad luck and good fortune
Misfortune and love
