This night you
are mistaken
i'm a farmer
in the city
Dark farm
houses
against the
sky
Every night
i must wonder why
Harness on the
left nail keeps
wrinkling wrinkling
Then higher above
me - e e so o
e e e so o o
Can't go by
a man from
Rio
Can't go by
a man from
Vigo
Can't go by
a man from
Ostia
Hey Ninetto
Remember that
dream
we talked about
it
so many times
Do i hear
21
21
21
i'll give you
21
21
21
Do i hear
21
21
21
i'll give you
21
21

And if i'm not
mistaken
We can search
from farm to
farm
Dark farm houses
against our eyes
Every night i
must realize
Harness on the
left nail
keeps withering withering
Then higher above
me e e so o
e e e so o o
Can't go by
a man in
this shirt
Can't go by
a man in
that shirt
Can't go by
a man with brain
grass
go by his long
long eye
gas
And i used
to be a
citizen
i never felt
the pressure
i knew nothing
of the horses
Nothing of the
thresher
Paulo
take me with
you
it was the
journey of
a life
Do i hear
21
21
21
i'll give you
21

Do i hear
