33 hours on the bus

That grandfather used to get off at Jequié1,
he couldn't read nor write,
he paints boats at the port in Rio
and calls his wife 'dear'.
33 hours on the bus to get to Bahia.
33 hours on the bus,
we're family for a day.
The sun goes down and in the bottom rows
cachaça2 brings hearts together.
Some by sleeping, and the rest with songs,
make the hours much shorter.
In the afternoon of the next day
the city appears to our eyes
Mireia confesses to me, laughing,
that the trip felt a lot shorter than it was.
We're made of glass, we're made of glass, see!
Welcome to Salvador1!
 
  • 1. a. b. City in Brazil
  • 2. A spirit made from sugar cane
