Текст и перевод песни Luiz Gonzaga - Acauã

Acauã

Acauã, acauã vive cantando
Durante o tempo do verão
No silêncio das tardes agoirando
Chamando a seca pro sertão
Chamando a seca pro sertão

Acauã, acauã
Teu canto é penoso e faz medo
Te cala, acauã
Que é pra chuva voltar cedo
Que é pra chuva voltar cedo

Toda noite no sertão
Canta o joão-corta-pau
A coruja, mãe da lua
A peitica e o bacurau

Na alegria do inverno
Canta sapo, gia e rã
Mas na tristeza da seca
Só se ouve acauã
Só se ouve acauã

Acauã, acauã
Acauã, dá-lhe, acauã
Acauã, dá-lhe, acauã
Acauã, dá-lhe, acauã

Acauã, dá-lhe, cauã
Acauã, cauã, cauã
Acauã, dá-lhe, acauã

Acauã, acauã
Teu canto é penoso e faz medo
Te cala, acauã
Que é pra chuva voltar cedo
Que é pra chuva voltar cedo

E acauã, dá-lhe cauã
Acauã, cauã, cauã
Acauã, dá-lhe cauã
Acauã, acauã

Acauã, dá-lhe acauã, cauã
Acauã, acauã
Dá-lhe, acauã, acauã
Dá-lhe, acauã

The Whip-poor-will

Whip-poor-will, whip-poor-will, who sings on
During the summer season
In the silence of the afternoons, foreboding
Calling the drought to the outback
Calling the drought to the outback

Whip-poor-will, whip-poor-will
Your song is painful and terrifying
Hush, whip-poor-will
So that the rain will return soon
So that the rain will return soon

Every night in the outback
Sings the acorn woodpecker
The owl, mother of the moon
The curassow, and the nighthawk

In the joy of winter
Sing the toad, bullfrog and frog
But in the sadness of the drought
Only the whip-poor-will is heard
Only the whip-poor-will is heard

Whip-poor-will, whip-poor-will
Whip-poor-will, go on, whip-poor-will
Whip-poor-will, go on, whip-poor-will
Whip-poor-will, go on, whip-poor-will

Whip-poor-will, go on, -poor-will
Whip-poor-will, -poor-will, -poor-will
Whip-poor-will, go on, whip-poor-will

Whip-poor-will, whip-poor-will
Your song is painful and terrifying
Hush, whip-poor-will
So that the rain will return soon
So that the rain will return soon

And whip-poor-will, go on -poor-will
Whip-poor-will, -poor-will, -poor-will
Whip-poor-will, go on -poor-will
Whip-poor-will, whip-poor-will

Whip-poor-will, go on, whip-poor-will, -poor-will
Whip-poor-will, whip-poor-will
Go on, whip-poor-will, whip-poor-will
Go on, whip-poor-will
