Paroles et traduction Margareth Menezes - Paraguassu

Paraguassu

Nnegra flor tupinambá
Entre ritos e mitos
Eu nasci para o amor
Que veio do grande mar
Um amor tão distinto
Um amor tão distante
Mas que veio pra ficar
Um amor tão distinto
Um amor tão distante
Mas que veio pra ficar
Hoje (os) nossos filhos são brilhos, são brilhos
São seres mestiços no meu litoral
Ilhas que aqui se iluminam
Compondo as trilhas desse carnaval
Compondo as trilhas desse carnaval
Negra flor tupinambá
Entre ritos e mitos
Eu nasci para o amor
Que veio do grande mar
Quando caramuru chegou
Entre praia e pedra
Era a nova moreia
E uma estrela acendeu
Paraguassu caiu do céu
E assim nasceu a nossa aldeia
Hoje os nossos filhos são brilhos, são brilhos
São seres mestiços no meu litoral
Ilhas que aqui se iluminam
Compondo as trilhas desse carnaval
Compondo as trilhas desse carnaval
Compondo as trilhas desse carnaval
Compondo as trilhas desse carnaval

Paraguassu

My ebony Tupinambá flower
Amidst rituals and myths
I was born for love
That came from the great sea
A love so distinctive
A love so distant
But that came to stay
A love so distinctive
A love so distant
But that came to stay
Today, our children are sparks, they are sparks
They are beings of mixed race on my coast
Islands that illuminate themselves here
Composing the melodies of this Carnival
Composing the melodies of this Carnival
My ebony Tupinambá flower
Amidst rituals and myths
I was born for love
That came from the great sea
When Caramuru arrived
In between beach and stone
She was the new mermaid
And a star ignited
Paraguassu fell from the sky
And that's how our village was born
Today, our children are sparks, they are sparks
They are beings of mixed race on my coast
Islands that illuminate themselves here
Composing the melodies of this Carnival
Composing the melodies of this Carnival
Composing the melodies of this Carnival
Composing the melodies of this Carnival
