    The moment when my grandfather died. My grandmother sat there next to him, not believing the empty shell that lay before her. She held his arm saying, "He's still warm, he's still warm."
    Her husband of 63 years.

lyrics

EU VI (Versão português)

Eu vi
Um homen velho deitando ao lado
da sua vida que deixo para atrás
Eu vi
Uma mulher velha sentando ao lado
de um corpo, um corpo frio e branco

Mãe dos mundos, Mãe dos universos
Leva-me a você, pra que possa ouvir sua voz
Mãe divina, destruidrora da ilusão

Eu vi
Un homen velho que era uma casca vazia
Só uma sombra
Uma mulher velha pegando na sua mão
Para aquecer até o final

Mãe dos mundos, Mãe dos universos
Leva-me a você, pra que possa ouvir sua voz
Mãe divina, destruidrora da ilusão

Eu vi
Um homen velho que viveu e morreu
E me deixo
Para criar o proximo.

EU VI (I Saw)

I saw
A very old man lying beside his life
that he left behind
I saw
A very old woman sitting next to a body
A body very cold and white

Mother of the worlds, Mother of the Universes
Bring me to you, so that I may hear your voice
Mother divine, destroyer of illusion*

I saw
A very old man that was an empty shell
Only a shadow
A very old woman holding his hand
Holding it to keep it warm, until the end

Mother of the worlds, Mother of the Universes
Bring me to you, so that I may hear your voice
Mother divine, destroyer of illusion*

I saw
A very old man
That lived and died
And he left me
To create the next.


(*Derived from an ancient Sanskrit Mantra)
