Lyrics and translation João Bosco - Jandira Da Gandaia

Jandira Da Gandaia

Jandira da gandaia
Jandira da algazarra
Jandira, já é dia
Quem diria

Jandira de Oxossi
Cuidado com essa tosse
Quando a noite esfria
Por que um dia

E um dia, quem diria
Jandira variou como a maré varia
Suou e delirou como, no amor, faria
Se pudesse amar

Jandira caixão de pinho
Luto, choro, velharia
Assim não quero lembrar
Jandira da gandaia, tu era da minha laia

Hoje eu vou beber, sambar
Vou fazer feito você
Que nunca se preocupou
Com imagem por exterior

Vou render minha homenagem
Fazendo furdunço
Tocando horror

E quando a noite acabar
Eu vou gritar entre as grades
De qualquer delegacia
Jandira, já é dia
Quem diria...

Jandira the Party Girl

Jandira, the party girl
Jandira, the merrymaker
Jandira, it's already dawn
Who would have thought

Jandira of Oxossi
Be careful of that cough
When the night grows cold
Because one day

And one day, who would have thought
Jandira changed like the changing tides
She sweated and raved as she would in love
If she could love

Jandira, pine coffin
Mourning, crying, old age
That's not how I want to remember you
Jandira, the party girl, you were one of my kind

Today I'm going to drink, dance samba
I'm going to do just like you
Who never worried about image
Or appearances

I'm going to pay my respects
By making a ruckus
Playing the blues

And when the night is over
I'll scream through the bars
Of some jail cell
Jandira, it's already dawn
Who would have thought...
