We sailed up a river wide as a sea 
And slept on the banks 
On the leaves of a banyan tree 
And all of these spirit voices rule the night 

Some stories are magical, meant to he sung 
Songs from the mouth of the river 
When the world was young 
And all of these spirit voices rule the night 

By moon 
We walk 
To the brujo's door 
Along a path of river stones 
Women with their nursing children 
Seated on the floor 
We join the fevers 
And the broken bones 

The candlelight flickers 
The falcon calls 
A lime-green lizard scuttles down the cabin wall 
And all of these spirit voices 
Sing rainwater, sea water, 
River water, holy water 
Wrap this child in mercy - heal her 
Heaven's only daughter 
All of these spirit voices rule the night 

My hands were numb 
My feet were lead 
I drank a cup of herbal brew 
Then the sweetness in the air 
Combined with the lightness in my head 
And I heard the jungle breathing in the bamboo 

Saudacões 
Da licenca um momento 
Te lembró 
Que amanha 
Sera tudo ou sera naoa 
Depende, coraçaõ 
Sera breve ou sera grande 
Depende da paixao 
Sera sujo, sera sonho 
Cuidado, coraçaõ 
Sera util, sera tarde 
Se esmera, coraçaõ 
E confia 
Na forca do amanha 

Lord of the earthquake 
My trembling bed 
The spider resumes the rhythm 
Of his golden thread 
And all of these spirit voices rule the night 
And all of these spirit voices rule the night
