Lyrics and translation Caetano Veloso - Cajuína (Remixed)

Cajuína (Remixed)

Existirmos: a que será que se destina?
Pois quando tu me deste a rosa pequenina
Vi que és um homem lindo e que se acaso a sina
Do menino infeliz não se nos ilumina
Tampouco turva-se a lágrima nordestina
Apenas a matéria vida era tão fina
E éramos olharmo-nos intacta retina
A cajuína cristalina em Teresina
Existirmos: a que será que se destina?
Pois quando tu me deste a rosa pequenina
Vi que és um homem lindo e que se acaso a sina
Do menino infeliz não se nos ilumina
Tampouco turva-se a lágrima nordestina
Apenas a matéria vida era tão fina
E éramos olharmo-nos intacta retina
A cajuína cristalina em Teresina
Existirmos: a que será que se destina?
Pois quando tu me deste a rosa pequenina
Vi que és um homem lindo e que se acaso a sina
Do menino infeliz não se nos ilumina
Tampouco turva-se a lágrima nordestina
Apenas a matéria vida era tão fina
E éramos olharmo-nos intacta retina
A cajuína cristalina em Teresina
Existirmos: a que será que se destina?
Pois quando tu me deste a rosa pequenina
Vi que és um homem lindo e que se acaso a sina
Do menino infeliz não se nos ilumina
Tampouco turva-se a lágrima nordestina
Apenas a matéria vida era tão fina
E éramos olharmo-nos intacta retina
A cajuína cristalina em Teresina

Cajuína (Remixed)

To exist: what could it mean?
Because when you gave me the tiny rose
I saw that you are a handsome man and that if by chance the fate
Of the poor child does not brighten up our day
Nor does the northeastern tear become less cloudy
Only the matter of life was so fine
And we were looking at each other with our untouched eyes
The crystalline cajuína in Teresina
To exist: what could it mean?
Because when you gave me the tiny rose
I saw that you are a handsome man and that if by chance the fate
Of the poor child does not brighten up our day
Nor does the northeastern tear become less cloudy
Only the matter of life was so fine
And we were looking at each other with our untouched eyes
The crystalline cajuína in Teresina
To exist: what could it mean?
Because when you gave me the tiny rose
I saw that you are a handsome man and that if by chance the fate
Of the poor child does not brighten up our day
Nor does the northeastern tear become less cloudy
Only the matter of life was so fine
And we were looking at each other with our untouched eyes
The crystalline cajuína in Teresina
To exist: what could it mean?
Because when you gave me the tiny rose
I saw that you are a handsome man and that if by chance the fate
Of the poor child does not brighten up our day
Nor does the northeastern tear become less cloudy
Only the matter of life was so fine
And we were looking at each other with our untouched eyes
The crystalline cajuína in Teresina
