CEIFEIRA (Reaper)
from T R I B O by H U M M A N A
lyrics
When harvesting the wheat
I do not choose the cadence
My godfather to be
Is the one with the white hat
You called my mouth
A birdcage
I wish I could call yours
My kisses drawer
You called me a bindweed
Entangled in the wheat
I have never been entangled
But with you now
You called me black
I am black and I know it
But the black bottle
Also serves at the king's table
You called me black
No apanhar do trigo
Não escolho o balanco
Quem vai ser o meu padrinho
Vai ser o de chapéu branco
Chamas-te á minha boca
Gaiola dos passarinhos
Quem dera chamar á tua
Gaveta dos meus beijinhos
Chamaste-me corriola
Embaraçada no trigo
Eu nunca me embaracei
Se não agora contigo
Chamaste-me preta, preta
Que sou preta bem o sei
Também a garrafa preta
Serve á mesa do rei
Chamaste-me preta, preta
I do not choose the cadence
My godfather to be
Is the one with the white hat
You called my mouth
A birdcage
I wish I could call yours
My kisses drawer
You called me a bindweed
Entangled in the wheat
I have never been entangled
But with you now
You called me black
I am black and I know it
But the black bottle
Also serves at the king's table
You called me black
No apanhar do trigo
Não escolho o balanco
Quem vai ser o meu padrinho
Vai ser o de chapéu branco
Chamas-te á minha boca
Gaiola dos passarinhos
Quem dera chamar á tua
Gaveta dos meus beijinhos
Chamaste-me corriola
Embaraçada no trigo
Eu nunca me embaracei
Se não agora contigo
Chamaste-me preta, preta
Que sou preta bem o sei
Também a garrafa preta
Serve á mesa do rei
Chamaste-me preta, preta
