E bandos de nuvens que passam ligeiras
Prá onde elas vão, ah, eu não sei, não sei.[2]

The wide pasture in an area called Dirindi situated on the road to the village of Maravilha inspired Tom with its occasional rain. The waters that came from far above followed shadows created by racing clouds and prompted the poet to write his acclaimed song "Dindi": "and the waters of this river, where do they go, I don't know." The rain also led Tom to write several other titles.
