Eu Ia Lyrics Translation in English

Eu ia

I was going

Eu ia

I was going

Lá na casa de Maria

There at Maria's house

Eu ia ia ia

I was going, going, going

Quase que ia

Almost went

Lá na casa de Maria

There at Maria's house

Eu fui descendo ladeira misericórdia

I went down Misericórdia slope

Nos Quatro Cantos, Ribeira, me embriaguei

In Quatro Cantos, Ribeira, I got drunk

De alegria de sorriso

With joy, with a smile

Me encontrei perdido no varadouro

I found myself lost in Varadouro

E de Maria eu lembrei

And I remembered Maria

E fui pro Carmo atrás do Eu Acho é Pouco

And I went to Carmo behind Eu Acho é Pouco

É bom demais frevo tava no pé

It's too good, frevo was on fire

E no arrasta com a vassoura a multidão

And dragging with the broom through the crowd

Eu pensando em Maria

I thinking about Maria

Olinda como é bom

Olinda, how good it is

Eu ia ia ia

I was going, going, going

Quase que ia

Almost went

Lá na casa de Maria

There at Maria's house

E fui atrás de São Bento, 13 de Maio

And I went after São Bento, 13 de Maio

No Amparo até que enfim tava na rua do Bonfim

In Amparo, finally on Bonfim Street

Me deparei com Maria em sua porta

I came across Maria at her door

Que coisa boa

What a good thing

Que saudade de Maria eu senti

How I missed Maria

Meu coração disparou dentro do peito

My heart raced inside my chest

Não pude não teve jeito

I couldn't, there was no way

E a felicidade de passar

And the happiness to pass

Peguei Maria: Vamos embora agora mesmo

I took Maria: Let's go right now

Que já tá quase na hora do Elefante passar

Because the Elephant is almost passing by

Eu ia ia ia

I was going, going, going

Quase que ia

Almost went

Lá na casa de Maria

There at Maria's house
