Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Aponta o cigarro adiante

Point the cigarette ahead

Menina errante não pensa em voltar

Wandering girl doesn't think about coming back

De fogo, o cabelo flameja ao vento

Her hair, fiery, flares in the wind

Que insiste em contra soprar

Which insists on blowing against


Inútil, pois ela não volta

Useless, for she doesn't come back

Ela sempre descola um lar doce lar

She always finds a sweet home

Da rosa que traz tatuada exala o perfume

From the rose she carries tattooed, the perfume exudes

Mas, pode espetar

But it can sting


É onça faminta, singela felina

It's a hungry jaguar, a simple feline

Que canta noturna ao luar

That sings at night under the moonlight

No peito esconde o que ama

In her chest, she hides what she loves

De alma repleta, lavada com gim

With a full soul, washed with gin


Afina a guitarra e fascina

Tunes the guitar and fascinates

Canto de sereia num mar de concreto

Mermaid's song in a sea of concrete

É certo machuca o veneno

It certainly hurts the poison

Que vem com teu beijo de deusa mulher

That comes with your goddess woman's kiss

Tragando o tédio destila amores

Inhaling boredom, distills loves

Em versos rimados ou não

In rhymed or unrhymed verses

Confessa sua culpa

Confesses her guilt

O pecado de ser verdadeira num mundo tão falso

The sin of being true in such a false world

Bandida, mocinha, plebeia

Bandit, maiden, commoner

Rainha, esposa, amante vulgar

Queen, wife, vulgar lover

Inquieta caminha, beirando o abismo

Restless, she walks, bordering the abyss

Com o dom de não se acostumar

With the gift of not getting used to it
