Voa Bicho [English translation]

A swallow took wing, took wing

built a nest in my hat

and a hole right in the midst of the sky

and there I go like a little bird

Without any destination nor prudence

With no money for a Chinese pastel

A swallow took wing, took wing

built a nest in my hands

and a hole right in my heart

and there I go like a little bird

like an animal that leaves its nest

unhesistantly without any regret

A swallow takes wing speedily

and flies farther than my voice

The swallow makes a song

that I didn't make

The swallow takes wing happily

and is stronger than my hand

But you don't make a summer alone

A swallow took wing, took wing

built a nest in my hands

and a hole right in my heart

and there I go like a little bird

like an animal that leaves its nest

unhesistantly without any regret
