Lyrics and translation Chico Buarque - Carioca




Carioca
Carioca
Gostosa
Delicious
Quentinha
Hot
Tapioca
Tapioca
O pregão abre o dia
The call opens the day
Hoje tem baile funk
Today there's a funk ball
Tem samba no Flamengo
There's samba in Flamengo
O reverendo no palanque lendo
The reverend on the stage reading
O Apocalipse
The Apocalypse
O homem da Gávea criou asas
The man from Gávea grew wings
Vadia
Slut
Gaivota
Seagull
Sobrevoa a tardinha
Flies over the afternoon
E a neblina da ganja
And the fog of ganja
O povaréu sonâmbulo
The sleepwalking crowd
Ambulando que nem muamba
Wandering like street vendors
Nas ondas do mar
On the waves of the sea
Cidade maravilhosa
Marvelous city
És minha
You are mine
O poente na espinha
The sunset on the spine
Das tuas montanhas
Of your mountains
Quase arromba a retina
Almost breaks the retina
De quem
Of those who see
De noite
At night
Meninas
Girls
Peitinhos de pitomba
Small breasts like pitombas
Vendendo por Copacabana
Selling Copacabana
As suas bugigangas
Their trinkets
As suas bugigangas
Their trinkets
Gostosa
Delicious
Quentinha
Hot
(Quem vai) Tapioca
(Who goes) Tapioca
O pregão abre o dia
The call opens the day
Hoje tem baile funk
Today there's a funk ball
Tem samba no Flamengo
There's samba in Flamengo
O reverendo no palanque lendo
The reverend on the stage reading
O Apocalipse
The Apocalypse
O homem da Gávea criou asas
The man from Gávea grew wings
Vadia
