Song number eight,
"Drão",
Song number eight
Caetano Veloso sings:
"Drão".
His voice has the colour of the sea,
its smell,
its beauty,
"Drão".
Song number eight.
In my language,
so many words rhyme with
"Drão",
like "Não",
and "Não"
is
"No"
and "Grão"
is
Grain.
Song number eight
is about
"Não",
which rhymes with
"Separação"
"Compaixão",
"Pão",
"Chão"
"Grão"
Separation,
Compassion,
Bread,
Ground,
Grain.
"Drão".
Song number eight,
Caetano Veloso
sings
"Drão".
Distand echoes
from Brazil,
Distand words that carry the sea,
the green,
the smell of the shore,
the foam of the waves,
the sound of the water,
Reaching,
in song number eight
"Drão",
like
"Não".
"Drão"
that rhymes with "Não";
Just rhymes,
because,
"Drão"
does not exist in my language.
But he chose to invent one more word,
in a language that has so many
rhyming with "Não".
He chose
"Drão"
