Eu quero uma casa no campo
I want a house in the countryside
Onde eu possa compor muitos rocks rurais
Where I can compose many rural rocks
E tenha somente a certeza
And only have the certainty
Dos amigos do peito e nada mais
Of close friends and nothing more
Eu quero uma casa no campo
I want a house in the countryside
Onde eu possa ficar do tamanho da paz
Where I can grow to the size of peace
E tenha somente a certeza
And only have the certainty
Dos limites do corpo e nada mais
Of the limits of the body and nothing more
Eu quero carneiros e cabras
I want sheep and goats
Pastando solenes no meu jardim
Grazing solemnly in my garden
Eu quero o silêncio das línguas cansadas
I want the silence of tired tongues
Eu quero a esperança de óculos
I want the hope of glasses
E meu filho de cuca legal
And my kid with a cool mind
Eu quero plantar e colher com a mão
I want to plant and harvest with my hands
A pimenta e o sal
The pepper and the salt
Eu quero uma casa no campo
I want a house in the countryside
Do tamanho ideal, pau-a-pique e sapê
Of the perfect size, made of timber and thatch
Onde eu possa plantar meus amigos
Where I can plant my friends
Meus discos e livros, e nada mais
My records and books, and nothing more
Onde eu possa plantar meus amigos
Where I can plant my friends
Meus discos, meus livros e nada mais
My records, my books, and nothing more
Onde eu possa plantar meus amigos
Where I can plant my friends
Meus discos e livros, e nada mais
My records and books, and nothing more
