lyrics

Água vai faltar
Song by Cristóbal Rey and Danilo Timm


Água vai faltar, pode acreditar
A gíria do povo não vai funcionar

Pode dançar na poeira
Pedir pros seus santos, seus orixás
Faz uma prece de encanto
E veja essa lágrima a sede matar

Pode dançar na poeira
E pedir pros seus santos e seus orixás
Faz uma prece de canto
E veja esse pranto virar Paraná

Seca que corre o calor
E caminha a pedreira
E não vai se cansar

Mata que morre de sede
Quem mata a mata vai sempre lembrar

Pode dizer às crianças, não vai ter
Água não tem pro feijão, quiçá beber

Mesmo que corram os canos não vai ter
Ah mulher vá ver TV
Ah mulher vou ver TV

Seca que corre o calor
E caminha a pedreira
E não vai se cansar

Mata que morre de sede
Quem mata a mata vai se arrepender


SPANISH TRANSLATION

El agua se acabará, créeme
La jerga de la gente no funcionará

Puedes bailar en el polvo
Pedirle a tus santos, a tus orixás
Haz una oración de encanto
Y mira esa lágrima la sed saciar

Puede bailar en el polvo
Y pregunta a tus santos y orixás
Haz una oración cantada
Y mira este llanto volverse Paraná

Sequía que corre el calor
Y caminar por la cantera
Y no te cansarás

Mata que se muere de sed
Quien mate el bosque siempre recordará

Puedes decirles a los niños que no habrá
No hay agua para los frijoles, tal vez bébela.

Incluso si las tuberías funcionan, no habrá
Ah mujer ve a ver la tele
Ah mujer, voy a ver la tele

Sequía que corre el calor
Y caminar por la cantera
Y no te cansarás

Bosque que muere de sed
Quien mate el bosque se arrepentirá




ENGLISH TRANSLATION

Water will run out, believe me
People's sayings won't work

Can dance in the dust
Ask your saints, your orixás
Make a charming prayer
And watch this tear quench the thirst

Can dance in the dust
And ask your saints and orixás
Do a singing prayer
And watch this weeping turn Paraná

Drought that runs the heat
And walk the quarry
And you won't get tired

Woods that dies of thirst
Whoever kills the forest will always remember

You can tell the kids, there will be no
There is no water for beans, maybe drink it

Even if the pipes run, there will be no
Ah woman go watch TV
Ah woman, I'm going to watch TV

Drought that runs the heat
And walk the quarry
And you won't get tired

Mata that dies of thirst
Whoever kills the forest will regret it
