Paroles et traduction Luiz Gonzaga - Karolina Com K

Karolina Com K

Karolina foi o maior estrupício que encontrei na minha vida
Ah mulher bagunceira da mulesta
Mulé cangaceira, arruaceira, trambiqueira
Conheci Karolina num forró que eu tava tocando

Quando eu avistei aquela mulézona diferente, sem dançar com ninguém
No meio do salão, só mangando dos matutos
Pensei comigo: "Aquele deve ser um pedaço de mau caminho"
E era mesmo!

Agora era bonita, já viu
Era uma rola de nega, que dava era gosto de ver
Cabelão cumprido, cinturinha de pilão, boa linha de lombo
Uma dentadura, que dente bonito assim memo' só... só dente de cachorro
Mas a mulher era bagunceira mermo

Comecei a caprichar na sanfona veia, pra ver se ela dava fé d'eu
Mas a danada nem fé d'eu deu
Eu chamei Anselmo: "Ôh, Anselmo"
Pegue essa sanfona aqui, que eu vou aculá
Anselmo pegou o fole veio
E eu me botei pra banca de Samarica

Samarica, tem celveja?
Bote um calice
Oxen!
Cerrejinha é essa, Samarica? Só tem escuma
Oxente! Celveja quente é assim mermo!
Pois bote duas encangada no fundo do pote, que ainda volto aqui hoje!

Me butei pro salão com mais de mil
Cheguei perto, e disse
Vosmecê que é a Carolina?
Ela disse: "Advinha!"
Toda inteirinha, Karolina com "K"
Que dançar mais eu?
Só se for agora!

Agarrei essa mulé e abufelei
E saí experimentando
Ali, aparpando dervagarzinho, pra ver se a bicha era serena
Quando decidi que a bicha era maneira memo'
Joguei pras esquerda, ela veio e tinindo, veio firme
Dermanchei, joguei pras esquerda, a mulher tá aí: fácil, fácil!
Sabe como é, né? Mulher querendo é bom demais

Aí truxe pro meio
Aqui eu... butei no meio
Aí joguei a mulher no voo do carcará: zwo!
Sabe cumé' o carcará, né?
Ele voa na vertical, para no ar e fica penerando
Aí vim vortando com ela nos meus braço
Vim vortando, quando ela trincou os pés no chão
Dei uma gaitada servergonha: Ha-hai!
É hoje! É!
Mulher querendo é bom demais!

Aí eu disse pra ela: "Carolina!"
Ramo aculá?
Bora!
Boca de Samarica, Samarica!
Cerrejinha... cerrejinha... bote aquelas duas
E vá logo butando mais duas no fundo do pote
Bebemo' as duas, voltemo' pro salão

Agora nós 'tamos ali: câmera lenta
Eu tava até... estava esquecido de que o tocador do samba era eu
Nós tamo ali: testa com testa e corpo do mesmo jeito
Chegou Zé de Baiha, e bateu no meu ombro
Gozanga, tenha paciência!
Você virou artista? Tá aí dando uma de artista de teatro
Vá po' seu canto, vá tocar, porque o tocador é você
E eu vou tirar a cota
Digo: "Vem comigo, Carolina"
Cheguei perto do Anselmo
Anselmo, passa a sanfona pra mim
E vai dançar com Carolina
Mas num deixa ninguém chegar perto dela
Num deixa ninguém... num deixa ninguém tomar de tu, não
Nós vamos rachar os quarenta mil réis
Eu tava ganhando quarenta

Aí peguei o fole véio e Zé de Bahia
Epa, tá na hora da cota
Quem não pagar não dança, é dez mil réis! Dez mil réis! Dez mil réis!
Tirou a cota, fez sinal pra mim
Passei a sanfona pra Pedro, minha garrafa
E saí com Anselmo e Carolina
Com os quarenta mil réis pra a gente dividir

Peguemo' um escurinho assim, um lugar quietinho
Pronto, Anselmo, aqui tem quarenta mil réis
Nós vamo' rachar no meio
Preste atenção, ein
Que eu vou contar o dinheiro
Anselmo com as butuca em cima de Carolina
Nunca tinha dançado com mulher cheirosa
Tava de cabeça virada
E eu já tava até com ciúme
Aí me vinguei dele
Vou cantar o dinheiro! Vou contar! Vou contar, preste atenção!

Um pra eu, um pra tu, um pra eu
Um pra eu, um pra tu, um pra eu
Um pra eu, um pra tu, um pra eu
Pronto, Anselmo! Aqui tá o teu! Aqui tá o meu!
Agora tu vai cantar até de manhã, que eu já vou com Carolina

Fui pr'onde tava minha eguinha
'Marrada lá debaixo do pé do sombrião
Acolchei assim, a dona em mar
Passei a perna, joguei Carolina na garupa e queimemo' o chão
Eita, Carolina! Ninguém viu a gente sair
Pois sim, Gonzaga! Puxa memo', que os cabra vem aí
Parece que eles vão butar... querem butar gosto ruim no nosso amor
Vamo' simbora

Sapequei a espora do suvaco com o vazio dessa égua
Chega ela ia... chega ia baixinha
Chegou na baira do riacho, a égua refugou a água
O rio tava cheio, e eu num sabia
E agora, Carolina?
Ela disse: "É, os cabra vem aí"
Vamo se esconder dento' dos mato?
Eu achei foi bom

Se escondemo detrás de um pé de...
Marmeleira, uma moita de marmeleira
Detrás da moita, a gente se escondeu
A cabrurada chegou depois
Home, será que eles... atravessaro o rio, cheio desse jeito?
Não, acho que eles tão escondido dento' dos mato
Vamo caçar eles?
Home, vamo vortar é pro forró, que nóis tem uma hora de dança, home
É mermo!
E eu achei foi bom demais

Fiquemo nós três ali
Eu, Carolina e a égua
Olhei pra minha éguinha, coitandinha, tão cansada
Espiei pra Carolina
Ela olhou pra mim e falou: "Zóio servergonho"
Tirei a sela
Espaiei a manta
Ha! E...
Lavei a égua!
Carolina!

Karolina with a K

Karolina was the biggest handful I ever met in my life
Ah, what a troublesome, bothersome woman
A wild woman, a troublemaker, a trickster
I met Karolina at a forró where I was playing

When I spotted that unique, statuesque woman, not dancing with anyone
In the middle of the dance floor, just mocking the country folk
I thought to myself: "That one must be a piece of trouble"
And she was!

Now, she was beautiful, you see
She was a fine-looking black woman, a sight to behold
Long hair, a slender waist, a nice curve to her back
A set of teeth, that only... only a dog could have teeth so white
But the woman was truly a handful

I started to play the old accordion with flair, to see if she'd notice me
But the darn woman didn't even look my way
I called Anselmo: "Hey, Anselmo"
Take this accordion here, I'm going to corner her
Anselmo took the old bellows
And I headed towards Samarica's stand

Samarica, do you have beer?
Pour me a glass
Goodness!
What kind of beer is this, Samarica? It's all foam
Oh come on! Warm beer is just like that!
Well, put two cold ones at the bottom of the cooler, I'll be back later today!

I went back to the dance floor with more confidence than ever
I got close, and said
Are you Carolina?
She said: "Guess!"
All sassy, Karolina with a "K"
You want to dance with me?
Only if it's right now!

I grabbed that woman and embraced her
And started testing the waters
There, gently guiding her, to see if the girl was smooth
When I decided the girl was truly good
I threw her to the left, she came back swinging, she came back strong
Spun her around, threw her to the left, the woman was right there: easy, easy!
You know how it is, right? A woman who's willing is just the best

Then I brought her to the center
Here I... put her in the middle
Then I threw the woman into the carcará flight: zoom!
You know how the carcará is, right?
It flies vertically, stops in mid-air, and just hovers
Then I came back with her in my arms
I came back, when she planted her feet on the ground
I let out a bashful yell: Ha-hai!
It's happening today! Yes!
A woman who's willing is just the best!

Then I said to her: "Carolina!"
Want to get out of here?
Let's go!
Samarica, Samarica!
Those beers... those beers... bring those two
And go ahead and put two more at the bottom of the cooler
We drank the two, went back to the dance floor

Now we were there: slow motion
I was even... I had forgotten that I was the one playing the music
We were there: forehead to forehead and bodies in sync
Zé de Baiha arrived and tapped me on the shoulder
Gozanga, have some patience!
Did you become an actor? You're there acting like a theater performer
Go to your corner, go play, because you're the musician
And I'm going to collect the money
I said: "Come with me, Carolina"
I went over to Anselmo
Anselmo, give me the accordion
And go dance with Carolina
But don't let anyone get close to her
Don't let anyone... don't let anyone take her from you, okay?
We're going to split the forty thousand réis
I was making forty

Then I took the old bellows and Zé de Bahia
Hey, it's time to collect the money
Those who don't pay don't dance, it's ten thousand réis! Ten thousand réis! Ten thousand réis!
He collected the money, signaled to me
I passed the accordion to Pedro, my bottle
And left with Anselmo and Carolina
With the forty thousand réis for us to split

We found a dark, quiet place
Alright, Anselmo, here's forty thousand réis
We're going to split it down the middle
Pay attention, okay?
Because I'm going to count the money
Anselmo with his eyes glued to Carolina
He had never danced with a woman who smelled so good
He was head over heels
And I was already getting jealous
So I got back at him
I'm going to count the money! I'm going to count! I'm going to count, pay attention!

One for me, one for you, one for me
One for me, one for you, one for me
One for me, one for you, one for me
There you go, Anselmo! Here's yours! Here's mine!
Now you can sing until morning, because I'm leaving with Carolina

I went to where my mare was
Tied up under the shade of the big tree
I saddled her up, the lady at sea
I swung my leg over, threw Carolina on the back, and we took off
Wow, Carolina! No one saw us leave
That's right, Gonzaga! Hurry up, those guys are coming
It seems like they're going to... they want to ruin our love
Let's go

I spurred the mare's flank with the emptiness of this night
She was going fast... she was going low
She reached the edge of the stream, the mare refused the water
The river was full, and I didn't know
What now, Carolina?
She said: "Yeah, the guys are coming"
Should we hide in the bushes?
I thought that was a good idea

We hid behind a...
Quince tree, a quince bush
Behind the bush, we hid
The gang arrived later
Man, do you think they... crossed the river, full like that?
No, I think they're hiding in the bushes
Should we go after them?
Man, let's go back to the forró, we have an hour of dancing left, man
That's right!
And I was very happy about that

The three of us stayed there
Me, Carolina, and the mare
I looked at my little mare, poor thing, so tired
I glanced at Carolina
She looked at me and said: "Shameless eyes"
I took off the saddle
Spread out the blanket
Ha! And...
I took care of the mare!
Carolina!
