Spirit Voices

[Verse 1]
We sailed up a river wide as a sea
Slept on the banks on the leaves of a banyan tree
And all of these spirit voices rule the night

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus 1]
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

[Verse 3]
The candlelight flickers, the falcon calls
A lime-green lizard scuttles down the cabin wall
And all of these spirit voices

[Verse 4]
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

[Chorus 2]
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

[Bridge]
Saudações
Dá licença um momento
Te lembro que amanhã
Será tudo ou será nada
Depende, coração
Será breve ou será grande
Depende da paixão
Será sujo, será sonho
Cuidado, coração
Será útil, será tarde
Se esmera, coração
E confia na força do amanhã

[Verse 5]
The lord of the earthquake, my trembling bed
The spider resumes the rhythm of its golden thread
And all of these spirit voices rule the night

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