about

Um cover, original de Zeca Afonso interpretado por mim e acompanhado por Tim Baker (que canta em portuguêse) e por Steve Maloney nas harmonias de fundo e guitarra acústica por Adam Hogan. Música gravada neste verão passado através do projecto Gros Morne Music in Woody Point, NL.

This song is a portuguese folk song
by the one and only — Zeca Afonso — one of the most influential songwriters of my home country. Zeca Afonso wrote mostly folk and also protest songs against the dictatorship that ended in ‘74. He was inspired by the people and by equality, and ruled by some genius poetry that soothed the hearts of many!

lyrics

Passos da noite
Ao romper do dia
Quantos se ouviram
Marchando a par
Batem à porta
Da hospedaria
Se for o vento
Manda-o entrar
Vejo uma espada
De sombra esguia
Se for o vento
Que venha só
Quem está lá fora
Traz companhia
Botas cardadas
Levantam pó
Venho de longe
Sem luz nem guia
Sou estrangeiro
Nao sou ninguém
Na flor queimada
Na cinza fria

Nunca se passa
Uma noite bem
Foge estrangeiro
Da morte escura
Pega nas armas
Vem batalhar
E enquanto a lua
Nao se habitua
Dorme ao relento
Até eu voltar
Há muito tempo
Que te nao via
(Um anjo negro
Me vem tentar)
Batem a porta
Da hospedaria
É aqui mesmo
Que eu vou ficar
