Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Uma Menina by Chico Buarque from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Uma menina igual a mil
A girl equals a thousand
Que não está nem aí
That you don't care
Tivesse a vida pra escolher
Had life to choose
E era talvez ser distraída
And it was maybe being distracted
O que ela mais queria ser
What she wanted to be most
se eu pudesse não cantar
If I could not sing
Esta absurda melodia
This absurd melody
Pra uma menina distraída
For a distracted girl
Uma menina igual a mil
A girl equals a thousand
Do Morro do Tuiuti
Do Morro do Tuiuti
Uma menina igual a mil
A girl equals a thousand
Que não está nem aí
That you don't care
Tivesse a vida pra escolher
Had life to choose
E era talvez ser distraída
And it was maybe being distracted
O que ela mais queria ser
What she wanted to be most
se eu pudesse não cantar
If I could not sing
Esta absurda melodia
This absurd melody
Pra uma criança assim caída
For a child so fallen
Uma menina do Brasil
A girl from Brazil
Que não está nem aí
That you don't care
Uma menina igual a mil
A girl equals a thousand
Do Morro do Tuiuti
Do Morro do Tuiuti
