Na ribeira deste rio [English translation]

At the banks of this river

Or at the banks of that one

Pass my days on end.

Nothing impedes me, drives me,

Makes me hot or makes me cold.

I see what the river does

When the river does nothing.

I hear (See) tracks it brings,

In a dragged sequence,

Of what was left behind.

I see and meditate,

Not exactly on the river that passes

But only on what I'm thinking

Because the good thing about it is that it makes

Me not see that it's going.

I go to the banks of the river

That is here or there,

And I trust its course,

Because whether I saw it or not,

It passes and I trust it.

And I trust its course,

Because whether I saw it or not,
