Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Pára-Raio by Djavan from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Descalço num pequeno espaço
Barefoot in a small space
Deitado em quarto crescente
Lying in crescent moon
Pálido, cálido, espírito ausente
Pale, warm, absent spirit
Calado, de corpo fechado
Quiet, with a closed body
Não traço, não sigo, não sou obrigado
I don't trace, I don't follow, I'm not obliged
Não faço segredo, não sou bem dotado
I make no secret of it, I'm not well endowed
Cabeça feita, visão na estrada
Head clear, vision on the road
Esqueço do medo, não choro por nada
I forget about fear, I don't cry for anything
No braço do mar
In the arm of the sea
Bem na ponta da areia
Right at the tip of the sand
A terra treme, o tempo serra
The earth shakes, time saws
Quem manda na chuva é o vento
The wind is the boss of the rain
Quem manda na chuva é o vento
The wind is the boss of the rain
E pára-raio
And lightning rod
E pára-raio
And lightning rod
E pára o tempo
And time stops
E pára-raio
And lightning rod
