Coqueiro De Itapoã Lyrics in English Caetano Veloso
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Coqueiro De Itapoã by Caetano Veloso from Portuguese to English.
Coqueiro de Itapoã, coqueiro
Coconut tree from Itapoã, coconut tree
Areia de Itapoã, areia
Sand from Itapoã, sand
Morena de Itapoã, morena
Dark-haired girl from Itapoã, dark-haired girl
Saudade de Itapoã, me deixa
Longing for Itapoã, leave me alone
Oh vento que faz cantiga nas folhas
Oh wind that sings in the leaves
No alto do coqueiral
Up high in the coconut grove
Oh vento que ondula as águas
Oh wind that ripples the waters
Eu nunca tive saudade igual
I've never had such longing
Me traga boas notícias
Bring me good news
Daquela terra toda manhã
From that land every morning
E joga uma flor no colo
And throw a flower in the lap
De uma morena de Itapoã
Of a dark-haired girl from Itapoã
Coqueiro de Itapoã, coqueiro
Coconut tree from Itapoã, coconut tree
Areia de Itapoã, areia
Sand from Itapoã, sand
Morena de Itapoã, morena
Dark-haired girl from Itapoã, dark-haired girl
Saudade de Itapoã, me deixa
Longing for Itapoã, leave me alone
Me deixa
Leave me alone
Oh vento que faz cantiga nas folhas
Oh wind that sings in the leaves
No alto do coqueiral
Up high in the coconut grove
Oh vento que ondula as águas
Oh wind that ripples the waters
Eu nunca tive saudade igual
I've never had such longing
Me traga boas notícias
Bring me good news
Daquela terra toda manhã
From that land every morning
E joga uma flor no colo
And throw a flower in the lap
De uma morena de Itapoã
Of a dark-haired girl from Itapoã
Coqueiro de Itapoã, coqueiro
Coconut tree from Itapoã, coconut tree
Areia de Itapoã, areia
Sand from Itapoã, sand
Morena de Itapoã, morena
Dark-haired girl from Itapoã, dark-haired girl
Saudade de Itapoã, me deixa
Longing for Itapoã, leave me alone

coqueiral — coconut grove
Coqueiral refers to a 'coconut grove' or 'palm grove'. It's a beautiful and evocative word that paints a vivid picture of the tropical landscape of Itapoã, a famous beach in Brazil.
In the song, Caetano Veloso sings about the wind making music in the leaves "No alto do coqueiral" (at the top of the coconut grove), immersing the listener in the serene and natural setting of the song. It's a word that transports you directly to the beach.
