Hey João de Barro

John of clay up there building
With clay and strength he saw his house emerge
Without a hammer, only the wind can resist
He teaches that to persist is to exist

Hey John teach me a lesson
Dirty hands but a healthy heart
With patience builds unity
In simple life, truth and reason

There on the branch among the leaves he makes a nest
With dedication, draw the path
In the storm, do not fear alone
Stay strong without losing affection

Hey John teach the lesson
Dirty hands but a healthy heart
With patience builds unity
In simple life, truth and reason

He doesn't ask why heaven
Just dance to the natural rhythm of the cruel wind
We should also take off the veil
And live free in the role that is faithful
John of clay showed me how to live
With clay and dreams you can flourish
From the top of the tree I see learning
To build you have to want it

There on the branch among the leaves he makes a nest
With dedication, draw the path
In the storm, do not fear alone
Stay strong without losing affection

He doesn't ask why heaven
Just dance to the natural rhythm of the cruel wind
We should also take off the veil
And live free in the role that is faithful
John of clay showed me how to live
With clay and dreams you can flourish
From the top of the tree I see learning
To build you have to want it
To build you have to want it
