Beleza Pura Lyrics in English Caetano Veloso
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Beleza Pura by Caetano Veloso from Portuguese to English.
Não me amarra dinheiro não
Money doesn't tie me down
Mas formosura
But beauty
Dinheiro não
Money doesn't
A pele escura
Dark skin
Dinheiro não
Money doesn't
A carne dura
Tough flesh
Dinheiro não
Money doesn't
Moça preta do Curuzu
Black girl from Curuzu
Beleza pura
Pure beauty
Federação
Federation
Beleza pura
Pure beauty
Boca do rio
Mouth of the river
Beleza pura
Pure beauty
Dinheiro não
Money doesn't
Quando essa preta começa a tratar do cabelo
When this black girl starts to take care of her hair
É de se olhar
It's worth looking at
Toda trama da trança transa do cabelo
Every detail of the braids, hair's dance
Conchas do mar
Sea shells
Ela manda buscar pra botar no cabelo
She sends to get to put in her hair
Toda minúcia, toda delícia
Every intricacy, every delight
Não me amarra dinheiro não
Money doesn't tie me down
Mas elegância
But elegance
Não me amarra dinheiro não
Money doesn't tie me down
Mas a cultura
But culture
Dinheiro não
Money doesn't
A pele escura
Dark skin
Dinheiro não
Money doesn't
A carne dura
Tough flesh
Dinheiro não
Money doesn't
Moço lindo do Badauê
Handsome boy from Badauê
Beleza pura
Pure beauty
Do Ilê-Aiê
From Ilê-Aiê
Beleza pura
Pure beauty
Dinheiro hié
Money, yes
Beleza pura
Pure beauty
Dinheiro não
Money doesn't
Dentro daquele turbante do filho de Gandhi
Inside that turban of Gandhi's son
É o que há
It's what's there
Tudo é chique demais tudo é muito elegante
Everything is too chic, everything is very elegant
Manda botar
Tell them to put
Fina palha da costa E que tudo se trance
Fine straw from the coast And everything is braided
Todos os búzios
All the cowries
Todos os ócios
All the leisure
Não me amarra dinheiro não
Money doesn't tie me down
Mas os mistérios
But the mysteries
Não me amarra dinheiro não
Money doesn't tie me down
Beleza pura
Pure beauty
Dinheiro não
Money doesn't
Beleza pura
Pure beauty
Dinheiro não
Money doesn't
Beleza pura
Pure beauty
Dinheiro Hié
Money, yes
Beleza pura
Pure beauty
Beleza pura
Pure beauty
Beleza pura
Pure beauty
Beleza pura
Pure beauty
Beleza pura
Pure beauty
Beleza pura
Pure beauty
Beleza pura
Pure beauty
Beleza pura
Pure beauty
