Grão de Areia

Sadness lives with me
Because of loneliness
I seem like a swallow
Wanting to bring summer
A drop of sweet water
Wanting to be a stream
A fallen seed
Wanting to be a plantation
But looking at the desert
I am just a grain
Of sand, a grain
Of sand, a grain
Of sand, a grain
Of sand, a grain

I am a fish in the school
In the sea of vastness
I am a flower of the cerrado
Born out of season
I want to be a good capoeira
And play with heart
But looking at the desert
I am just a grain
Of sand, a grain
Of sand, a grain
Of sand, a grain
Of sand, a grain

I wanted to be the moonlight
That illuminates my backlands
Or to be a star
In any constellation
I walk through the world
With my tambourine in hand
But looking at the desert
I am just a grain
Of sand, a grain
Of sand, a grain
Of sand, a grain
Of sand, a grain
