Lyrics
Rio, vim saber de ti e vi Vi teu tropical sem fim
Quadrou de ser um mar
Longe Anhanga!
Tantas cunhas e eu curumim!
O uirapuru
(Oh! lua azul!)
Cantou pra mim!
Rio, vim saber de ti, meu mar
Negro maraca jari
Para, Paris jardim
Muiraquitas,
Tantas manhas — nos no capim!
Jurupari
(Oh! Deus daqui!)
Jurou assim:
«Porque fugir, se enfim me queres?
So me feriu como me feres
A mais civilizada das mulheres!
Senhoras do Amazonas que sois
Donas dos homens e das setas
Por que ja nao amais vossos poetas?»
Lyrics translation
Rio, I came to know you and I saw your tropical endless
Square to be a sea
Away Anhanga!
So many wedges and I curumim!
O uirapuru
(Oh! blue moon!)
He sang to me!
Rio, I came to hear from you, my sea
Black maraca jari
To, Paris garden
Muiraquitas,
So many mornings on the grass!
Jurupari
(Oh! God out of here!)
Swore so:
"Why run away, if you want me anyway?
Just hurt me like you hurt me
The most civilized of women!
Ladies of the Amazon you are
Masters of men and arrows
Why don't you love your poets?»
