Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Maçã by Djavan from Portuguese to English.
Subi ladeira nas carreira
I climbed the hill in a hurry
Te amei desfiladeiro abaixo
I loved you down the gorge
Encalacrei no lodo, na lama
I got stuck in the mud, in the mud
Na areia movediça da carícia humana
In the quicksand of human caress
O chão brilhava a casa ria
The ground shone, the house laughed
Clareava o dia e eu nos teus braços
It brightened the day and I was in your arms
E viajei fui bater na Espanha
And I traveled, ended up in Spain
Com o cheiro que você tem
With the scent that you have
Me embriaguei destruí Casablanca
I got drunk, destroyed Casablanca
E me revoltei contra Nicarágua
And rebelled against Nicaragua
Após me atolar lá no Irã
After getting stuck there in Iran
Teu beijo é Nova York o que quer dizer maçã
Your kiss is New York, what does apple mean
Como é bom te querer
How good it is to want you
Acordei, 'tava frio
I woke up, it was cold
Dei a volta e voltei pro Rio
I turned around and went back to Rio
Dei a volta e voltei pro Rio
I turned around and went back to Rio
Dei meia volta e voltei pro Rio
I turned around and went back to Rio
Dei a volta e voltei pro Rio
I turned around and went back to Rio
Subi ladeira nas carreira
I climbed the hill in a hurry
Te amei desfiladeiro abaixo
I loved you down the gorge
Encalacrei no lodo, na lama
I got stuck in the mud, in the mud
Na areia movediça da carícia humana
In the quicksand of human caress
O chão brilhava a casa ria
The ground shone, the house laughed
Clareava o dia e eu nos teus braços
It brightened the day and I was in your arms
E viajei fui bater na Espanha
And I traveled, ended up in Spain
Com o cheiro que você tem
With the scent that you have
Me embriaguei destruí Casablanca
I got drunk, destroyed Casablanca
E me revoltei contra Nicarágua
And rebelled against Nicaragua
Após me atolar lá no Irã
After getting stuck there in Iran
Teu beijo é Nova York o que quer dizer maçã
Your kiss is New York, what does apple mean
Como é bom te querer
How good it is to want you
Acordei, 'tava frio
I woke up, it was cold
Dei a volta e voltei pro Rio
I turned around and went back to Rio
Dei a volta e voltei pro Rio
I turned around and went back to Rio
Dei a volta e voltei pro Rio
I turned around and went back to Rio
Dei meia volta e voltei pro Rio
I turned around and went back to Rio
