Regina Elis
The Best of Elis Regina
House in the Country
(Zé Rodrix - Tavito, 1972)
I want a house in the country
Where I can compose many rural rocks
And just be sure
Of close friends and nothing else
I want a house in the countryside
Where I can stay in peace
And have only the certainty
Of the limits of the body and nothing else
I want sheep and goats
Grazing solemnly in my garden
I want the silence of tired tongues
I want the hope with glasses
And a cool cuca's son
I plant and harvest by hand
Pepper and salt
I want a house in the country
The ideal size, wattle and daub and thatch
Where I can plant my friends
My records and books and nothing else
André Velloso - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
