Lyrics Milton Nascimento

Milton Nascimento

Bridges (Travessia)

I have crossed a thousand bridges

In my search for something real

There were great suspension brigdes

Made like spider webs of steel

There were tiny wooden trestles

And there were bridges made of stone

I have always been a stranger

And I've always been alone

There's a bridge to tomorrow

There's a bridge from the past

There's a bridge made of sorrow

That I pray will not last

There's a bridge made of colors

In the sky high above

And I think that there must be

Bridges made out of love

Vou seguindo pela vida

Me esquecendo de você

Eu não quero mais a morte,

Tenho muito que viver

Vou querer amar de novo

Ee se não der não vou sofrer

Já não sonho, hoje faço

Com meu braço o meu viver

When the bridge is between us

We'll have nothing to fear

We will run through the sun light

And I'll meet her halfway

There's a bridge made of colors

In the sky high above

And I'm certain that somewhere

There's a bridge made of love

I can see her in the distance

On the river's other shore

And her hands reach out longing

As my own have done before

And I call across to tell her

Where I believe the bridge must lie

And I'll find it, yes I'll find it

If I search until I die
