Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Drume Negrinha (Drume Negrita) by Caetano Veloso from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Drume, negrinha
Drume, black girl
Que eu te transo uma nova caminha
That I'll give you a new bed
Que venha ter muito axé
May there be lots of axé
Que tenha gosto d'ocê
That tastes like you
Drome, pretinha
Drome, black girl
Que eu te trago de toda Bahia
That I bring you from all over Bahia
Tudo que der pra trazer
Everything you can bring
Com quase todo prazer
With almost all pleasure
Se tu drume eu te descolo um araçá
If you drum, I'll give you an araçá
Cor do céu de lá
Color of the sky there
Se não drume esse mandu de carnaval
If you don't drum this carnival mandu
Drume, negrinha
Drume, black girl
Que eu te transo uma nova caminha
That I'll give you a new bed
Que venha ter muito axé
May there be lots of axé
Que tenha gosto d'ocê
That tastes like you
Tu drome, pretinha
You drome, black girl
Que eu te trago de toda Bahia
That I bring you from all over Bahia
Tudo que der pra trazer
Everything you can bring
Com quase todo prazer
With almost all pleasure
Se tu drume eu te descolo um araçá
If you drum, I'll give you an araçá
Cor do céu de lá
Color of the sky there
Se não drume esse mandu de carnaval
If you don't drum this carnival mandu
Tu drume, negrinha
You drum, black girl
Que eu te transo uma nova caminha
That I'll give you a new bed
Que venha ter muito axé
May there be lots of axé
Que tenha gosto d'ocê
That tastes like you
Tu me drome, pretinha
You fuck me, little black girl
Que eu te trago de toda Bahia
That I bring you from all over Bahia
Tudo que der pra trazer
Everything you can bring
Com quase todo prazer
With almost all pleasure
Que venha ter muito axé
May there be lots of axé
Tudo que der pra trazer
Everything you can bring
Que tenha gosto d'ocê
That tastes like you
Que venha ter muito axé
May there be lots of axé
