MEIO BAILE (Half Dance)

from T R I B O by H U M M A N A

/

lyrics

Oh! the half dance
A very excellent dance
Awakes the sleepy
Oh! brings joy to those who are sick

I live in the wind peak
And the wind wants to take me
Let summer come soon
I'll get even with the cold
I have sins in this world
I have to cut them off

I no longer have father or mother
Nor relatives in this world
Oh, for there I am the green herbs daughter
Flowing waters grandchild
I'll get even with the cold



Ai! o baile da meia volta
Ai! um baile muito excelente
Ai! acorda quem está dormindo
Ai! alegra quem está doente

Moro no pico do vento
E o vento me quer levar
Bem depressa venha o verão
Que o frio vai me pagar
Tenho pecados no mundo
Tenho que os descontar

Já não tenho nem pai nem mãe
Nem neste mundo parente
Ai sou filha das ervas verdes
Neta das águas correntes
O frio vai-me pagar
