Oração ao Tempo [English translation]

You are such a beautiful mister

Just like my son's face

Time time time time

I'm asking you one thing

Time time time time

Composer of destinations

A drum for all the rhytms

Time time time time

I make an agreement with you

Time time time time

For being so inventive

And seeming so continuous

Time time time time

You are one of the most beautiful Gods

Time time time time

May you be even more alive

At the sound of my chorus

Time time time time

Listen well to what I tell you

Time time time time

I ask you the legitimate pleasure

And the precise movement

Time time time time

When we feel the time is right

Time time time time

So that my spirit

Would get a defined shine

Time time time time

And I scatter the benefits

Time time time time

What we would use for that

Keeps locked in secrecy

Time time time time

Just between you and me

Time time time time

And when I have left

For a place outside your circle

Time time time time

I neither will be nor it would be

Time time time time

Indeed I still believe

That our gathering is possible

Time time time time

At another level of bond

Time time time time

So I ask you that

And I offer you my compliments

Time time time time

On the rhymes of my styles

Time time time time
