Meia Lua Inteira Lyrics in English Caetano Veloso
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Meia Lua Inteira by Caetano Veloso from Portuguese to English.
Meia lua inteira sopapo, na cara do fraco
Half moon full slap, in the face of the weak
Estrangeiro gozador
Foreign mocker
Cocar de coqueiro baixo quando engano se enganou
Coconut headdress low when I deceive, got deceived
São dim, dom, dão são bento, grande homens de movimento
They are dim, dom, give, Saint Benedict, great men of movement
Martelo do tribunal, sumiu na mata adentro
Hammer of the court, disappeared into the forest
Foi pego sem documento no terreiro regional
Was caught without documents in the regional yard
Poeira ra ra ra, poeira ra ra ra
Dust ra ra ra, dust ra ra ra
Terça-feira, capoeira ra ra ra, tô no pé de onde dera ra ra ra
Tuesday, capoeira ra ra ra, I'm at the foot of where it was ra ra ra
Verdadeiro ra ra ra, derradeiro rara ra
True ra ra ra, last ra ra
Não me impede de cantar ra ra ra ra, tô no pé de onde dera ra ra ra
Doesn't stop me from singing ra ra ra ra, I'm at the foot of where it was ra ra ra
Bimba berimba a mim que diga, taco de arame, cabaça, barriga
Bimba berimba to me that says, wire bat, gourd, belly
São dim, dom, dão São Bento, grande homem de movimento
They are dim, dom, give Saint Benedict, great man of movement
Nunca foi um marginal, sumiu na praça a tempo
Was never a marginal, disappeared in the square in time
Caminhando contra o vento sobre a prata capital
Walking against the wind over the silver capital
Poeira ra ra ra, poeira ra ra ra
Dust ra ra ra, dust ra ra ra
Terça-feira, capoeira ra ra ra, tô no pé de onde dera ra ra ra
Tuesday, capoeira ra ra ra, I'm at the foot of where it was ra ra ra
Derradeiro ra ra ra, verdadeiro ra ra ra
Last ra ra ra, true ra ra ra
Não me impede de cantar ra ra ra ra, tô no pé de onde dera ra ra ra
Doesn't stop me from singing ra ra ra ra, I'm at the foot of where it was ra ra ra
Poeira ra ra ra, poeira ra ra ra
Dust ra ra ra, dust ra ra ra
Terça-feira, capoeira ra ra ra, tô no pé de onde dera rara ra
Tuesday, capoeira ra ra ra, I'm at the foot of where it was ra ra ra
Verdadeiro ra ra ra, derradeiro ra ra ra
True ra ra ra, last ra ra ra
Não me impede de cantar ra ra ra ra, tô no pé de onde dera ra ra ra
Doesn't stop me from singing ra ra ra ra, I'm at the foot of where it was ra ra ra
