Amarra O Teu Arado A Uma Estrela [English translation]

If the fruit produced by the Earth

Are not yet

As sweet and pulpy as the pears

Of your illusion

Tie your plough to a star

And time will hand out

Crops and crops of dreams

Kilos and kilos of love

In other laughing planets

Other kinds of pain

If the cropped fields of this world

Are too harsh

And if grounds devastated by war

Don't produce peace

Tie your plough to a star

So you'll be

The crazy astronomical farmer

The peasant on the run among the planets

And the more you get from the Earth

The farther you'll get from God

If the fruit produced by the Earth

Are not yet

As sweet and pulpy as the pears

Of your illusion

Tie your plough to a star

And time will hand out

Crops and crops of dreams

Kilos and kilos of love

In other laughing planets

Other kinds of pain

If the cropped fields of this world

Are too harsh

And if grounds devastated by war

Don't produce peace

Tie your plough to a star

So you'll be

The crazy astronomical farmer

The peasant on the run among the planets

And the more you get from the Earth

The farther you'll get from God
