Paul Simon - Spirit Voices [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
We sailed up a river wide as a sea
And slept on the banks
On the leaves of a banyan tree

[Chorus]
And all of these spirit voices rule the night

[Verse 2]
Some stories are magical, meant to be sung
Song from the mouth of the river
When the world was young

[Chorus]
And all of these spirit voices rule the night

[Verse 3]
By moon
We walk
To the brujo's door
Along a path of river stone
Women with their nursing children
Seated on the floor
We join the fevers
And the broken bones
The candlelight flickers
The falcon calls
A lime-green lizard scuttles down the cabin wall
And all of these spirit voices
Sing rainwater, sea water
River water, holy water
Wrap this child in mercy - heal her
Heaven's only daughter

[Chorus]
All of these spirit voices rule the night

[Verse 4]
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
And i heard the jungle breathing in the bamboo
Saudac~oes (greetings!)
D'a lic'enca um momento (excuse me, one moment)
Te lembr'o (i remind you)
Que amanh~a (that tomorrow)
Ser'a tudo ou ser'a naoa (it will be all or it will)
(be nothing)
Depende, cora,c~ao (it depends, heart)
Ser'a breve ou ser'a grande (it will be brief or it will)
(be great)
Depende da paix~ao (it depends on the passion)
Ser'a sujo, ser'a sonho (it will be dirty, it will)
(be a dream)
Cuidado, cora,c~ao (be careful, heart)
Ser'a 'util, ser'a tarde (it will be useful, it will be)
(late)
Se esmera, cora,c~ao (do your best, heart)
E confia (and have trust)
Na for,ca do amanh~a (in the power of tomorrow)

[Bridge]
Lord of the earthquake
My trembling bed
The spider resumes the rhythm
Of his golden thread

[Chorus]
And all of these spirit voices rule the night [x3]
