Translation of the song lyrics Cala A Boca, Bárbara - Chico Buarque

Cala A Boca, Bárbara (original)

Ele sabe dos caminhos dessa minha terra
No meu corpo se escondeu, minhas matas percorreu
Os meus rios, os meus braços
Ele é o meu guerreiro nos colchões de terra
Nas bandeiras, bons lençóis
Nas trincheiras, quantos ais, ai
Cala a boca — olha o fogo!
Cala a boca — olha a relva!
Cala a boca, Bárbara
Cala a boca, Bárbara
Cala a boca, Bárbara
Cala a boca, Bárbara
Ele sabe dos segredos que ninguém ensina
Onde guardo o meu prazer, em que pântanos beber
As vazantes, as correntes
Nos colchões de ferro ele é o meu parceiro
Nas campanhas, nos currais
Nas entranhas, quantos ais, ai
Cala a boca — olha a noite!
Cala a boca — olha o frio!
Cala a boca, Bárbara
Cala a boca, Bárbara
Cala a boca, Bárbara
Cala a boca, Bárbara
Cala a boca, Bárbara
Cala a boca, Bárbara
Cala a boca, Bárbara

Cala A Boca, Bárbara (translation)

He knows the ways of this land of mine
In my body hidden, my woods roamed
My rivers, my arms
He is my warrior on the mattresses of earth
On the flags, good sheets
In the trenches, how many woes, woes
Shut up — look at the fire!
Shut up — look at the grass!
Shut up, Barbara
Shut up, Barbara
Shut up, Barbara
Shut up, Barbara
He knows the secrets that no one teaches
Where do I keep my pleasure, in which swamps to drink
The leaks, the currents
On iron mattresses he is my partner
In campaigns, in corrals
In the bowels, how many woes, woes
Shut up — look at night!
Shut up — look at the cold!
Shut up, Barbara
Shut up, Barbara
Shut up, Barbara
Shut up, Barbara
Shut up, Barbara
Shut up, Barbara
Shut up, Barbara
