No Meio do Pitiú Lyrics Translation in English
Dona Onete
Portuguese Lyrics
English Translation
A garça namoradeira
The flirty heron
Namora o malandro urubu
Flirts with the sly vulture
Eles passam a tarde inteira
They spend the whole afternoon
Causando o maior rebu
Causing a great commotion
Na doca do Ver-o-Peso
At the Ver-o-Peso dock
No meio do Pitiú
In the midst of the Pitiú
No meio do Pitiú, no meio do Pitiú
In the midst of the Pitiú, in the midst of the Pitiú
No meio do Pitiú, no meio do Pitiú
In the midst of the Pitiú, in the midst of the Pitiú
Eu fui cantar carimbó
I went to sing carimbó
Lá no Ver-o-Peso
There at Ver-o-Peso
Urubu sobrevoando
Vulture hovering
Eu logo pude prever
I could foresee
Parece que vai chover
It seems like it's going to rain
Parece que vai chover
It seems like it's going to rain
Depois que a chuva passar
After the rain passes
Vou cantar carimbó pra você
I'll sing carimbó for you
No meio do Pitiú, no meio do Pitiú
In the midst of the Pitiú, in the midst of the Pitiú
No meio do Pitiú, no meio do Pitiú
In the midst of the Pitiú, in the midst of the Pitiú
No meio do Pitiú, no meio do Pitiú
In the midst of the Pitiú, in the midst of the Pitiú
No meio do Pitiú, no meio do Pitiú
In the midst of the Pitiú, in the midst of the Pitiú
Urubu malandro
Sly vulture
Foi passear lá no Marajó
Took a stroll in Marajó
Comeu de tudo
Ate everything
Mas vivia numa tristeza só
But lived in loneliness
Urubu lhe perguntou
Vulture asked him
O que se passa, compadre?
What's going on, friend?
Tô com saudade da minha branca
I miss my fair one
Do Ver-o-Peso, da sacanagem
From Ver-o-Peso, from the mischief
Lá eu sou pop star
There, I'm a pop star
No meio da malandragem
In the midst of the rascality
Fico bem na foto
I look good in photos
Na entrevista e na reportagem
In interviews and in reports
No meio do Pitiú, no meio do Pitiú
In the midst of the Pitiú, in the midst of the Pitiú
No meio do Pitiú, no meio do Pitiú
In the midst of the Pitiú, in the midst of the Pitiú
No meio do Pitiú, no meio do Pitiú
In the midst of the Pitiú, in the midst of the Pitiú
No meio do Pitiú, no meio do Pitiú
In the midst of the Pitiú, in the midst of the Pitiú
