Lyrics
Poco fue lo que quedó
De su boca carmesí:
Una foto en Salvador
Tres deseos de Bonfim
Que el invierno desató
Un verso sin terminar
En aquel cuarto de hotel
No paraba de girar
La tristeza en portugués
Diez días de carnaval
Cruzando Avenida Italia
Haciendo dedo hasta el Chuy
Mostrando el sello en la aduana
Diecinueve sin cumplir
Y ella que le preguntaba
Dónde quedaba Uruguay
Ella bailaba y bailaba
Y se reía al hablar
Su acento lo desarmaba
En la ventana sonando
El febrero de Brasil
Entrando en la madrugada
Él la miraba dormir
Y apenas acreditaba
Juntaba plata en invierno
Soñaba con el Edén
Escuchaba a Joao Gilberto
Y sólo pensaba en volver
Garroneaba todo el año
Para el Itapemirim
Y velaba en el armario
Trofeos del Paraíso
Lyrics translation
Little was left
From his Crimson mouth:
A photo in Salvador
Three wishes of Bonfim
That winter unleashed
An unfinished verse
In that hotel room
He kept spinning.
Sadness in Portuguese
Ten days of Carnival
Crossing Avenida Italia
Finger up the Chuy
Showing the stamp at customs
Nineteen not met
And she asked him
Where was Uruguay
She danced and danced
And he laughed as he spoke
His accent disarmed him.
In the window ringing
February in Brazil
Entering the early morning
He watched her sleep
And I hardly believed
He collected silver in winter
I dreamed of Eden
I was listening to Joao Gilberto
And I was just thinking about coming back.
He was humming all year round.
For Itapemirim
And watched in the closet
Paradise trophies
