“Amor de Índio” by Beto Guedes

Everything that moves is sacred
And removes mountains
Very carefully, my love
While the flame burns
Seeing you go by every day
Living everything at your side
With the arc of promise
In the painted blue to last

The bee making honey
Is worth the time it didn’t fly
The star fell from the sky
The request you thought about
Destiny that was fulfilled
By feeling your heat
And being everything
Every day is for living
To be whatever and to be everything

Yes, all love is sacred
And the fruit of labor
Is more than sacred, my love
The dough that makes the bread
Is worth the light of your sweat
Remember that sleep is sacred
And feeds the horizons
Of the time awake, of living

In winter protect yourself
In summer go fishing
In autumn get to know you
Spring to be able to enjoy
In the summer I melt
To be able to dance in the rain and walk together
Destiny was fulfilled
By feeling your heat and being everything

- Beto Guedes’ biggest hit, performed solo, with others, and by others
