Anjo Avesso Lyrics Translation in English
Elba RamalhoPortuguese Lyrics
English Translation
Safada era a cara do anjo
Naughty was the face of the angel
que no quarto noturno pintou
who, in the nightly room, appeared
no meu ouvido falou loucuras de amor
whispering craziness of love in my ear
Pegou minha mão e saímos na troca de passos
He took my hand, and we danced in step
Um beijo molhado escandalizado
A scandalized wet kiss
Que até minha gata se escandalizou
Even my cat was scandalized
E com um penacho de índio ele me coroou (BIS)
And with an Indian feather, he crowned me (REPEAT)
Sou anjo avesso, sou tupã presente
I'm the opposite angel, I'm present Tupã
Guerreiro sempre, galho da semente (BIS)
Always a warrior, branch of the seed (REPEAT)
Do algodão, do pau-brasil, da serpentina que coloriu
From cotton, from Brazilwood, from the serpentine that colored
Os olhos do cego, a voz do anão,
The eyes of the blind, the voice of the dwarf
A vida e o meu coração de leão
Life and my lion heart
