A Volta Dos Trovoes Lyrics in English Elba Ramalho
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song A Volta Dos Trovoes by Elba Ramalho from Portuguese to English.
Um tambor amedrontou a mata
A drum frightened the forest
Quando o dia clareou
When the day brightened
Na clareira respondeu a flauta
In the clearing the flute answered
Um aviso de terror
A warning of terror
Um cacique descobriu pegadas
A chief discovered footprints
De um estranho caçador
From a strange hunter
Uma tribo foi exterminada
A tribe was exterminated
Onde o rio avermelhou
Where the river turned red
Antes das chuvas
Before the rains
Quando um trovão tombou das estrelas
When thunder fell from the stars
E a selva escura
And the dark jungle
Viu brilhar nas mãos de um deus
Saw it shine in the hands of a god
Armas de estrondo e luz
Boom and light weapons
Armas de estrondo e luz
Boom and light weapons
Onça negra caminhou nas cinzas
Black jaguar walked in the ashes
Da fogueira que passou
From the fire that passed
Gavião voando contra a brisa
Hawk flying against the breeze
Viu a mancha do trator
Did you see the stain on the tractor
Sobre o chão onde os pajés dançavam
On the floor where the shamans danced
Uma vila se formou
A village was formed
Todo dia longe ressoava
Every day far away it resounded
O machado do lenhador
The lumberjack's ax
Dentro da selva
Inside the jungle
Ouçam os corações dos guerreiros
Listen to the hearts of the warriors
Esperando a noite
Waiting for the night
Em que os astros vão trazer
What will the stars bring
A volta dos trovões
The return of thunder
A volta dos trovões
The return of thunder
