Текст и перевод песни Jorge Ben Jor - Jesualda

Jesualda

Jesualda parou com o morro
Pois ela estava no alto
Mas não estava por cima
Moça simpática prendada ano ginasial completo
Toda certinha ainda donzela
Prá ninguém botar defeito
Cheia de afeto
Desceu pra ver de perto o asfalto quente
Sentir a brisa e a água salgada do mar
Molhando seu corpo delgado
Procurou um emprego e achou
Foi trabalhar num duplex na zona sul
De cozinheira de forno e fogão
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Na flor da idade
Tão pura tão linda tão meiga
No ponto do ônibus
Num domingo à tarde
Sua felicidade pintou
Pois um moço simpático
Que ia no seu carro meio apressado
Com bandeira e tudo
Com bandeira e tudo ao Maracanã
No que olhou pro lado, parou
Saltou levou um papo
E a linda simpática donzela ele amarrou
Hoje Jesualda é feliz
Casou de véu e grinalda
E agora espera baby
Espera baby no exterior
Espera baby no exterior
Salve simpatia
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
(Toca pra Jesualda!)
(Jesualda merece!)

Jesualda

Jesualda left the favela
Because she was on top
But she wasn't in control
A bright young woman, a high school graduate
Still a virgin, flawless
Without a single flaw
Full of affection
She came down to experience the hot asphalt
To feel the breeze and the salty ocean water
Drenching her slender body
She found a job, and a good one
She went to work in a duplex in the southern zone
As a cook, in the kitchen
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
In the prime of her life
So pure, so beautiful, so sweet
At the bus stop
On a Sunday afternoon
Her happiness appeared
Because a nice young man
Who was in a hurry in his car
With a flag and everything
With a flag and everything to the Maracanã
When he looked to the side, he stopped
He jumped out, struck up a conversation
And he hooked the beautiful, sweet maiden
Today, Jesualda is happy
She married in a veil and a gown
And now she's expecting a baby
Expecting a baby abroad
Expecting a baby abroad
Bless you, sweet girl
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
(Play for Jesualda!)
(Jesualda deserves it!)
