Flor De Maracujá Lyrics in English Gal Costa
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Flor De Maracujá by Gal Costa from Portuguese to English.
Lá no avarandado
There on the veranda
Na luz do meio dia
In the midday light
Um segredo nos teus olhos
A secret in your eyes
Tanta coisa me dizia
Told me so much
O cabelo solto ao vento
Your hair loose in the wind
O teu jeito de olhar
Your way of looking
E no teu corpo moreno
And on your tanned body
A flor de maracujá
The passion fruit flower
Dia de sol
Sunny day
Cheiro de flor
Scent of a flower
Gosto de mar, amor
Taste of the sea, my love
A tua cor
Your color
Luz do luar
Moonlight
Vento que vem do mar
Wind that comes from the sea
Roda, gira, vira o vento
Spin, turn, the wind changes
Meu amor vai te levar
My love will take you
Bem pra lá do fim do mundo
Far beyond the end of the world
Onde eu vou te chamar
Where I'll call you
Lá no avarandado
There on the veranda
Na luz do meio dia
In the midday light
Um segredo nos teus olhos
A secret in your eyes
Tanta coisa me dizia
Told me so much
O cabelo solto ao vento
Your hair loose in the wind
O teu jeito de olhar
Your way of looking
E no teu corpo moreno
And on your tanned body
A flor de maracujá
The passion fruit flower
Dia de sol
Sunny day
Cheiro de flor
Scent of a flower
Gosto de mar, amor
Taste of the sea, my love
A tua cor
Your color
Luz do luar
Moonlight
Vento que vem do mar
Wind that comes from the sea
Roda, gira, vira o vento
Spin, turn, the wind changes
Meu amor vai te levar
My love will take you
Bem pra lá do fim do mundo
Far beyond the end of the world
Onde eu vou te chamar
Where I'll call you
Bem pra lá do fim do mundo
Far beyond the end of the world
Onde eu vou te chamar
Where I'll call you
Bem pra lá do fim do mundo
Far beyond the end of the world
Onde eu vou te chamar
Where I'll call you

avarandado — balconied / with a veranda
Avarandado is an interesting and somewhat uncommon word derived from "varanda" (veranda or balcony). It describes something that has a veranda or is like a veranda.
In the song, it sets a picturesque scene: "Lá no avarandado / Na luz do meio dia" (There on the balconied space / In the midday light). It evokes a specific, charming architectural detail, painting a vivid image of the setting where the romantic encounter unfolds.
