Spirit Voices

We sailed up a river, wild as a sea

Slept on the banks on the leaves of a banyan tree

And all of these spirit voices rule the night

Some stories are magical, meant to be sung

Songs from the mouth of the river when the world was young

And all of these spirit voices rule the night

By moon we walk to the

Brujo's door

Along a path of river stones

Women with their nursing children seated on the floor

We join the fevers and the broken bones

Candlelight flickers the falcon calls

A lime green lizard scuttles down the cabin wall

And all of these spirit voices

Sing rain water, sea water, river water, holy water

Wrap this child in mercy heal her

Heaven's only daughter

All of these spirit voices rule the night

My hands were numb, my feet were lead

I drank a cup of herbal brew

Then the sweetness in the air

Combined with the lightness in my head

An' I heard the jungle breathing in the bamboo

SaudacoesD'a lic'enca um momento

Te lembr'o

Que amanha

Ser'a tudo ou ser'a naoa

Depende, cora, cao

Ser'a breve ou ser'a grande

Depende da paixao

Ser'a sujo, ser'a sonho

Cuidado, cora, cao

Ser'a 'util, ser'a tarde

Se esmera, cora, cao

E confiaNa for,ca do amanha

The Lord of the earthquake

My trembling bed

The spider resumes the rhythm

On it's golden thread

And all of these spirit voices rule the night([Foreign Content])

And all of these spirit voices rule the night([Foreign Content])

And all of these spirit voices rule the night([Foreign Content])
