Lyrics
Ah muita gente apagada pelo tempo
Nos papéis desta lembrança que tão pouca me ficou
Igrejas brancas luas claras nas varandas
Jardins de sonho e cirandas foguetes claros no ar
Que mistério tem Clarice
Que mistério tem Clarice
Pra guardar-se assim tão firme, no coração
Clarice era morena como as manhãs são morenas
Era pequena no jeito de não ser quase ninguém
Andou conosco caminhos de frutas e passarinhos
Mais jamais quis se dispir
Entre os meninos e os peixes
Entre os meninos e os peixes
Entre os meninos e os peixes do rio, do rio…
Que mistério tem Clarice
Que mistério tem Clarice
Pra guardar-se assim tão firme, no coração
Tinha receio do frio, medo de assombração
O corpo que não mostrava feito de adivinhação
Os botões sempre fechados
Clarice tinha o recato de convento e procissão
Eu pergunto o mistério
Que mistério tem Clarice
Pra guardar-se assim tão firme, no coração
Soldado fez continência, o coronel reverência
O padre fez penitência, três novenas e uma trezena
Mais Clarice era a inocência, nunca mostrou-se a ninguém
Fez-se modelo das lendas
Fez-se modelo das lendas
Das lendas que nos contaram as avós
Que mistério tem Clarice
Que mistério tem Clarice
Pra guardar-se assim tão firme, no coração
Tem que um dia amanhecia e Clarice
Assistiu minha partida, chorando pediu lembrança
E vendo o barco se afastar de Amaralida
Desesperadamente linda, soluçando e lentamente
E lentamente despiu o corpo moreno
E entre todos os presentes
Até que seu amor sumisse
Permaneceu no adeus chorando e nua
Para que a tivesse toda
Todo tempo que existisse
Que mistério tem Clarice
Que mistério tem Clarice
Pra guardar-se assim tão firme, no coração
Lyrics translation
Ah a lot of people erased by time
In the papers of this memory that so little remained to me
White churches light moons on balconies
Dream gardens and cirandas light Rockets in the air
What a mystery has Clarice
What a mystery has Clarice
To keep yourself so firm, in the heart
Clarice was brunette as mornings are brunettes
She was small in the way of being almost nobody
Walked with us fruit paths and Little Birds
But I never wanted to strip
Between boys and fish
Between boys and fish
Between the boys and the river fish, the river…
What a mystery has Clarice
What a mystery has Clarice
To keep yourself so firm, in the heart
I was afraid of the cold, afraid of haunting
The body that did not show made of divination
The buttons always closed
Clarice had the rectory of Convent and procession
I ask the mystery
What a mystery has Clarice
To keep yourself so firm, in the heart
Soldier made continence, Colonel reverence
The priest did penance, three novenas and one trezena
More Clarice was innocence, never showed up to anyone
Became a model of Legends
Became a model of Legends
From the legends that the grandmothers told us
What a mystery has Clarice
What a mystery has Clarice
To keep yourself so firm, in the heart
Got to one day Dawn and Clarice
Watched my departure, crying asked for Remembrance
And seeing the boat move away from Amaralida
Desperately beautiful, sobbing and slowly
And slowly undressed the brunette body
And among all those present
Until your love was gone
Remained at Goodbye crying and naked
So I could have it all
As long as there was
What a mystery has Clarice
What a mystery has Clarice
To keep yourself so firm, in the heart
