Beija Flor
Milton Nascimento
Beija-flor me chamou – olha
Lua branca chegou na hora
O beira–mar me dou prova
Uma estrela bem nova
Na luminaria da mata
Forca que vem e renova
Beija-flor de amor me leva
Como o vento levou a folha
Minha mamae soberana
Minha floresta de joia
Tu que das brilho na sombra
Brilhas tambem la na praia
Beija-flor me mandou – embora
Trabalhar e abrir os olhos
Estrela dalva me molha
Tudo que ama e chora
Some na curva do rio
Tudo e dentro e for a
Minha floresta de joia
Tem a agua – tem a agua
Tem aquela imensidao . . .
Tem sombra da floresta
Tem a luz no coracao
“A hummingbird called me – look
The full moon appears for you
The sea shore has given me proof
A brand new star
In the light of the jungle
Power that comes and renews
The hummingbird of love is taking me
Like the wind takes the leaves
My supreme Mother
My forest of joy
You that give light to shadow
You shine by the beach too
The hummingbird sent me away
To work with open eyes
Venus star, rain on me
On everyone who loves, who weeps
All fades in the curve of the river
Everything is inside and out
My forest of Joy
There is water, there is water
There is immensity
There is shadow in the forest
There is light in my heart
My forest of joy”
