And if it is real… I wanna touch, I wanna feel, she can dance, she belongs, she believes.

Photo of Carmen Miranda in the 1930’s.  The following song was dedicated to her.

Most people know me have noticed I love music from all around the world and have a particular love for Brazilian music.  This one is particularly amazing because first of all, it’s the live concert version recorded at Carnegie Hall.  Live versions are often a little more special with a bit more feeling than the studio production.  (Also, when you hear the clapping after, it’s like a reaffirmation that the song was indeed, amazing.) And second, the song itself contains both a mix of Portuguese and English, so you could sing along to at least some of it if you aren’t familiar with Portuguese.

The first song in this playlist is what I’m talking about… the lyrics to which are below…

The following are the lyrics to the first song in the playlist above called “Marco de Canaveses.”

Tem
Ela tem
Diz que tem
Mas tambm
Nem precisa dizer

And if, it is real
I wanna touch
I wanna feel
She can dance
She belongs
She believes

Marco de Canaveses
o nome da terra
Onde Laroxum nasceu

And the taste of each flower is sweet
So why do they say she’s a baaad girl?

She lives in the dark
Breathin’ in
Breathin’ out
It is wild
It is real
It is good

Maos
Ps e maos
Contramaos
Sins e naos
Olhos saos
De rolar e de ver

She’s living in a dreamworld
Like regular people
And she’s caught by the tail

Filha de um mestre cafuso
Deusa do cu
Como tu e eu

Take away, take away
Take away that hurting feeling

Ela veio, ela vem
Vem trazer encanto ao mundo

Wash away, wash away
Wash away that hurting feeling

Ela veio, ela vem
Vem trazer encanto ao mundo

She’s living in a dreamworld
Like regular people
And she’s caught by the tail
And the taste of each flower is sweet
So why do they say she’s a bad girl?

Em 1980 que ela veio ao mundo
Com os olhos azuis
E na testa as estrelas da cruz

Ela agora, ela agora
Agora faz
E na pele castanha ela traz uma luz de cajus

Marco de Canaveses
o nome da terra
Onde Laroxum nasceu
Filha de um mestre cafuso
Deusa do cu
como tu e eu

Ela veio, ela vem
Vem trazer encanto ao mundo

Take away, take away
Take away that hurting feeling

Ela veio, ela vem
Vem trazer encanto ao mundo

Take away, wash away,
wash away that hurting feeling

Ela veio, ela vem
Vem trazer encanto ao mundo

Take away, take away
Take away that hurting feeling

(repeat until end)

Ela veio, ela vem
Vem trazer encanto ao mundo
