Translation of the song lyrics Clariô - Gal Costa

Clariô (original)

Eram nuvens escuras sobre o céu da cidade
De repente a fagulha, raieletricidade
Ô, clariô, ô, clariô
Ô, clariô, ô, clariô
Eram idéias confusas na cabeça e no peito
De repente a palavra, fogo, canto e desejo
Ô, clariô, ô, clariô
Ô, clariô, ô, clariô
Eram passos cansados de dançar a mesma dança
De repente uma nova, reggae, luz, esperança
Ô, clariô, ô, clariô
Ô, clariô, ô, clariô

Clariô (translation)

They were dark clouds over the city sky
Suddenly the spark, lightning
Oh, clarion, oh, clarion
Oh, clarion, oh, clarion
There were confused ideas in my head and in my chest
Suddenly the word, fire, song and desire
Oh, clarion, oh, clarion
Oh, clarion, oh, clarion
They were tired steps of dancing the same dance
Suddenly a new, reggae, light, hope
Oh, clarion, oh, clarion
Oh, clarion, oh, clarion
