Paroles et traduction Sivuca - Fogo Pago

Fogo Pago

Fogo pagou, cantou, cantou, cantou
Olhou pro céu encarnado e se assustou
Fogo pagou, cantou, cantou, cantou
Compadecida, bateu asas e voou

Água do rio secou, secou
Capeta, então, reinou
Matando e acabando o que encontrou

Água do rio secou, secou
Credo, nosso senhor
Até o próprio sol se incendiou

Ai, ai, meu Ceará
Tal qual fogo pagou
Ai, vim pra não morrer
Mas vivo é que eu não estou

Fogo pagou, cantou, cantou, cantou
Olhou pro céu encarnado e se assustou
Fogo pagou, cantou, cantou, cantou
Compadecida, bateu asas e voou

Água do rio secou, secou
Capeta então reinou
Matando e acabando o que encontrou

Água do rio secou, secou
Credo, nosso senhor
Até o próprio sol se incendiou

Ai, ai, meu Ceará
Tal qual fogo pagou
Ai, vim pra não morrer
Mas vivo é que eu não estou

Burning Fire

The fire blazed, it sang, it sang, it sang
It looked up at the crimson sky and was frightened
The fire blazed, it sang, it sang, it sang
The compassionate one flapped its wings and flew away

The river water dried up, it dried up
Then the Devil reigned
Killing and destroying everything it found

The river water dried up, it dried up
My, oh my, our Lord
Even the sun itself caught fire

Oh, oh, my Ceará
Just like the fire that burned
Oh, I came here not to die
But I'm not really living

The fire blazed, it sang, it sang, it sang
It looked up at the crimson sky and was frightened
The fire blazed, it sang, it sang, it sang
The compassionate one flapped its wings and flew away

The river water dried up, it dried up
Then the Devil reigned
Killing and destroying everything it found

The river water dried up, it dried up
My, oh my, our Lord
Even the sun itself caught fire

Oh, oh, my Ceará
Just like the fire that burned
Oh, I came here not to die
But I'm not really living
