NAME:
Music: Planet Water
Water that is born at the source
serene of the world
And that opens a
deep grotto
water that makes innocent
stream and flow
In the stream of the stream…
dark waters of rivers
who take
Fertility in the Sertão
Waters that bathe villages
And they quench the population's thirst...
Waters that fall from the rocks
in the veil of waterfalls
thunder roar
And then they sleep peacefully
in the bed of the lakes
In the bed of the lakes…
Water from the streams
Where Iara, the mother of water
it's mysterious song
water that the sun evaporates
Go to heaven
Turn into cotton clouds…
rain water drops
happy rainbow
about the plantation
rain water drops
so sad it's tears
In the flood...
Waters that move mills
are the same waters
that soak the ground
And they always come back humble
deep in the earth
Deep in the earth...
Earth! Water planet
Earth! Water planet
Earth! Water planet…
Water that is born at the source
serene of the world
And that opens a
deep grotto
water that makes innocent
stream and flow
In the stream of the stream…
dark waters of rivers
That take fertility to the sertão
Waters that bathe villages
And they quench the population's thirst...
Waters that move mills
are the same waters
that soak the ground
And they always come back humble
deep in the earth
Deep in the earth...
Earth! Water planet
Earth! Water planet
Earth! Planet Water…(2x)
