Casa no Campo [English translation]

I want a house in the country

One where I can write many folk-rock songs and be sure only of my dear friends' truthfulness and nothing else

I want a house in the country

One where I can become as huge as peace and be sure only of the limits of my body and nothing else

There, I wanna see sheeps and goats grazing solemnly in the garden

There, I wanna hear the silence of lips, tired of talking in discord

There, I want hope to wear sunglasses and my son to be in peace with his mind

There, I want to seed and harvest pepper and salt with my own hands

I want a house in the country, one of ideal size, with wattle and daub walls and thatched roofs

One where I can sow there my friends, my records and books and nothing else
