These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Uma tigresa de unhas negras e íris cor de mel
A black-nailed tigress and honey-colored iris
Uma mulher, uma beleza que me aconteceu
A woman, a beauty that happened to me
Esfregando a pele de ouro marrom do seu corpo contra o meu
Rubbing the brown gold skin of your body against mine
Me falou que o mal é bom e o bem cruel
He told me that evil is good and good cruel
Enquanto os pelos dessa deusa tremem ao vento ateu
While this goddess's hair trembles in the atheist wind
Ela me conta sem certeza tudo o que viveu
She tells me without certainty everything she's lived
Que gostava de política em mil novecentos e sessenta e seis
Who liked politics in one thousand nine hundred and sixty-six
E hoje dança no frenetic dancin' days
And today dances in the frenetic dancin' days
Ela me conta que era atriz e trabalhou no hair
She tells me she was an actress and worked on hair
Com alguns homens foi feliz, com outros foi mulher
With some men was happy, with others was woman
Que tem muito ódio no coração, que tem dado muito amor
That has a lot of hatred in the heart, that has given a lot of love
E espalhado muito prazer e muita dor
And spread a lot of pleasure and a lot of pain
Mas ela ao mesmo tempo diz que tudo vai mudar
But she says at the same time that everything will change
Porque ela vai ser o que quis inventando um lugar
Because she's going to be the one who wanted to invent a place
Onde a gente e a natureza feliz vivam sempre em comunhão
Where we and happy nature always live in communion
E a tigresa possa mais do que o leão
And the tigress can more than the lion
As garras da felina me marcaram o coração
The feline's claws marked my heart
Mas as besteiras de menina que ela disse, não
But the girl she said, no
E eu corri pro violão, num lamento, e a manhã nasceu azul
And I ran to the guitar, in a lament, and the morning was born blue
Como é bom poder tocar um instrumento
How good it is to be able to play an instrument
