Velho Garotão (James Blue) - Oswaldo Montenegro traduction en anglais

Velho Garotão (James Blue)

Gostava daquele jeito maneiro
De andar meio de lado displicente, velho garotão
No ano de 1985
Eu cheguei a usar bermuda e dizer muito palavrão
A marca do cigarro era o "mais barato possível"
A marca do cigarro era preciso
Ele era um tal de James Blue
Que andava muito louco
E vez em quando arrebentava de paixão
É claro que queria ser bem mais do que podia
Dançar um reggae underground ao som do balafon
Usar boné de yankee no cabelo noite e dia
E ouvir Gilberto Gil na velocidade do som
A marca do cigarro era o "mais barato possível"
A marca do cigarro era preciso
Ele era um tal de James Blue
Que andava muito louco
E vez em quando arrebentava de paixão
Gostava do tempo do não se faz mais namorada como antigamente
(Muito se fazia então)
Gostava do gosto que as coisas tinham, de andar meio de lado
Displicente velho garotão

Old Boy (James Blue)

I liked the cool way
You would walk slightly to the side, nonchalant, old boy
In the year 1985
I got to wear shorts and say a lot of bad words
The brand of cigarette was "the cheapest possible"
The brand of cigarette was necessary
He was a guy named James Blue
Who was very crazy
And occasionally burst with passion
Of course, he wanted to be much more than he could be
Dance to an underground reggae to the sound of the balafon
Wear a Yankee cap on his hair day and night
And listen to Gilberto Gil at the speed of sound
The brand of cigarette was "the cheapest possible"
The brand of cigarette was necessary
He was a guy named James Blue
Who was very crazy
And occasionally burst with passion
I liked the time of the no longer make girlfriends like before
(So much was done then)
I liked the taste that things had, of walking slightly to the side
Nonchalant, old boy
