Translation The old bathroom floor A day to do nothing A sea that has no end And the setting sun in the air Afterwards in Caymmi square feeling laziness in the body On a wicker grass mat drinking coconut juice, it’s good To pass an afternoon in Itapuã The Sun that glows in Itapuã Hearing the sea in Itapuã speaking of love in Itapuã While the sea rises A little green cloud of a leaf To increase the sweetness With a rum cork And a forgotten look The sky meets sea Slowly, you going to feel good The whole Earth turns, It’s good To pass an evening in Itapuã The Sun that glows in Itapuã Hearing the sea in Itapuã speaking of love in Itapuã Afterwards feeling the chill Of the wind that the night brings And to say that's said that it’s soft That produce of the coconut trees And that serene space Without yesterday and neither tomorrow To sleep in the arms of a dark-haired woman Under the moon of Itapuã It’s good To pass an evening in Itapuã The Sun that glows in Itapuã Hearing the sea in Itapuã speaking of love in Itapuã Gilberto Gil - Parabolicamara'. Toquinho - Aquarela ( Watercolor). Translation In a sheet of paperI draw an yellow-coloured sunAnd with five or six straight linesI easily draw a castle I run the pencil to countour my fingersand I get myself a glove on the paper.And if I draw the rain ,By just stroking two dashes,I easily get an umbrella If a little drop of paintdrips on a blue portion of my drawFor an instant, I imagine it to bea beautiful gull, flying in the sky And she flies on and onContouring a huge line over the horizont,From the north to the south.And I'm flying along with herOver HavaiBeijing or Istambul.I paint a sailboat,which is smoothly sailing awayThere's so much of the sky and sea's immensityinto the blue-green colour Through the clouds a beautiful airplanein pink and granate is comming overWith its colours, it cheerfully tinges all around,as it passes by and its lights blink vividly With a bit of imagination,I see it taking off, quietly and beautifullyAnd if you wantI can make it land In any sheet of paper,I draw a sail, leaving the quay,With me and some of my friends in itDrinking and having a good time, all in peace with life From America to America*,I can easily travel in a blink.I just turn a compass aroundand with a circle I draw the world . A boy is walking on and onas he reaches a wallOver this wall, not too far from it,the future is waiting for us And the future is a spaceshipWhich we try to drive.But the future is always hurried and merciless.There's no right time for it to come,And without asking or warning us,It just changes our livesAnd then it beckons usto cry or laugh together Along this road, it's not our dutyto know or see what's comming to usNo one surely knows where it's heading us toWe're just going on the wayCrossing a beautiful footbridgePainted in watercolourwhich someday will fade after all In a sheet of paper, I draw an yellow-coloured sun(which will fade someday)And with five or six straight lines I easily draw a castle(which will fade someday)I just turn a compass aroundand with a circle I draw the world(which will fade someday) Gilberto Gil - O Eterno Deus MU Danca.
