Enquanto a cidade inteira vai digerindo o seu jantar
While the whole town is digesting your dinner
E todas as ruas e praças se lavam com essência de luar
And all the streets and squares wash with moonlight essence
Enquanto as estátuas famosas bebem brandies e aveledas
While the famous statues drink brandies and aveledas
E as tílias se entreolham meigamente nas alamedas
And the linden trees look at each other sweetly in the malls
Vou guardando as margens
I'm guarding the margins
Velando os lírios do jardim
Veling the garden lilies
Enquanto a meia-noite encerra mais uma sessão
While midnight closes another session
E o senso-comum ressona tranquilo e pesado no colchão
And common sense snores quiet and heavy on the mattress
Enquanto a cidade inteira lava os dentes e faz toilete
While the whole town brushes its teeth and toiletes
E os taxistas recolhem as sombras que restam da noite
And taxi drivers collect the remaining shadows of the night
Vou guardando as margens
I'm guarding the margins
Velando os lírios do jardim
Veling the garden lilies
Enquanto a luz do promontório ensina a costa ao barqueiro
While the headland light teaches the coast to the boatman
E arde o rum forte no zimbório e traz lucidez ao faroleiro
And it blows the rum strong in the juniper and brings lucidity to the lighthouse keeper
Vou pondo malha sobre malha com o labor dum tapeceiro
I'm going to knit ted it with the work of a tapeceiro
Palavra, acorde, som, a talha e a devoção dum mestre-oleiro
Word, chord, sound, carving and devotion of a master-potter
Vou guardando as margens
I'm guarding the margins
Velando os lírios do jardim
Veling the garden lilies
Enquanto a cidade inteira vai feliz na sua faina
While the whole town goes happily in its faina
E o sol boceja na ladeira ao som do martelo e da plaina
And the sun yawns on the slope to the sound of the hammer and the planer
Saúdo a bruma e o orvalho e a luz do dia madrugado
I greet the mist and dew and the early daylight
Guardo as cartas no baralho meu sono é enfim chegado
I keep the cards in the deck my sleep is finally arrived
Vou guardando as margens
I'm guarding the margins
Velando os lírios do jardim
Veling the garden lilies
