Jeitinho Dela Lyrics Translation in English
Tom Zé
Portuguese Lyrics
English Translation
A revista provou
The magazine proved
o jornal confirmou
the newspaper confirmed
pela fotografia,
through the photograph,
que nos olhos dela
that in her eyes
tem sol nascendo.
the sun is rising.
Mas não se explica,
But it's not explained,
nem se justifica
nor justified
por que naquele dengo
why in that affection
do sorriso dela
of her smile
a cidade
the city
acabou se perdendo.
ended up losing itself.
No jeitinho dela
In her way
botei o passo
I set my pace
no compasso dela
to her rhythm
caí no laço
got caught in her lasso
no abraço dela
in her embrace
me desencaminhei
I got off track
no caminho dela
on her path
me desajeitei.
I got disarranged.
No jeitinho dela, no jeitinho
In her way, in her way
no jeitinho dela, no jeitinho.
in her way, in her way.
Que ferve panela
She boils a pot
quando falta gás
when gas is lacking
mas quanta gente boa
but how many good people
já trocou sua paz...
have already traded their peace...
Pelo jeitinho dela,
For her way,
um cientista
a scientist
no jeitinho dela
in her way
disse na tevê
said on TV
que o jeitinho dela
that her way
tem um micróbio
has a microbe
no jeitinho dela
in her way
que faz miolo derreter.
that makes brains melt.
No jeitinho dela
In her way
no jeitinho dela
in her way
Geladeira já teve febre
The refrigerator had a fever
penicilina teve bronquite
penicillin had bronchitis
Melhoral teve dor de cabeça
aspirin had a headache
e quem quiser que acredite
and whoever wants can believe it.
No jeitinho dela
In her way
vou me perder
I'll get lost
no jeitinho dela
in her way
