Lyrics and translation João Nogueira - Bela Cigana

Bela Cigana

Anda, retira de cima esse manto de medo
Abre essa mão que eu vou revelar um segredo
Vou meu irmão lhe ensinar beber água na fonte
Poder caminhar os caminhos do monte
Aonde amanhã novo sol vai nascer

É, nessa vida ninguém foge porque tem medo
É justamente o contrário, medrou quem fugiu
Vai meu irmão rasga as folhas do teu samba-enredo
Desvia teu barco dos velhos rochedos
Mais tarde ou mais cedo meu darás razão

E foi assim que me disse a bela cigana
De brincos de ouro, de porte de dama
De vida e de morte no fundo do olhar

Leu minha mão e rezou e levou meu dinheiro
Mas a tal cigana não sabe, talvez
Tirou meu veleiro do fundo do mar

E foi assim que me disse a bela cigana
De brincos de ouro, de porte de dama
De vida e de morte no fundo do olhar

Leu minha mão e rezou e levou meu dinheiro
Mas a tal cigana não sabe, talvez
Tirou meu veleiro do fundo do mar

Anda, retira de cima esse manto de medo

Beautiful Gypsy

Come on, remove that cloak of fear
Open your hand and I'll reveal a secret
I'll teach you, my brother, to drink water from the spring
To walk the paths of the mountain
Where tomorrow a new sun will rise

Yes, in this life no one escapes because they are afraid
It's precisely the opposite, he who flees thrives
Go, my brother, tear up the pages of your storybook
Turn your boat away from the old rocks
Sooner or later, you'll see I'm right

And that's what the beautiful gypsy told me
With gold earrings, like a lady of quality
With life and death hidden in her eyes

She read my hand, prayed, and took my money
But perhaps that gypsy doesn't know
She pulled my sailboat out of the depths of the sea

And that's what the beautiful gypsy told me
With gold earrings, like a lady of quality
With life and death hidden in her eyes

She read my hand, prayed, and took my money
But perhaps that gypsy doesn't know
She pulled my sailboat out of the depths of the sea

Come on, remove that cloak of fear
