Текст и перевод песни Túlio Borges - Tu

Tu

Se tu fosse umbu num te largava
Se fosse um mungango eu te juntava
Se fosse um pombinho eu criava
Se fosse de aço eu torava
Não fosse bem certa eu acertava
O que tu vendesse eu comprava
Se fosse biloca eu roubava

Se tu no Big Brother eu votava
No pasto da fazenda eu aboiava
Se um butiazinho eu plantava
Se tu buriti eu te cascava
Se tu melancia eu gostava
Se tu fosse nata eu adorava
Se tu Häagen-Dazs eu te amava

Mas tu é tu e tu é melhor
É melhor que a sombra da ingazeira
Mas tu é tu e tu é melhor
Mais perfume que manga na mangueira
Mas u é tu e tu é melhor
Mais amor que amora na amoreira
Meu ouro incrustado do sertão
Minha prata gaúcha brasileira

You

If you were a Spondias tuberosa, I wouldn't let you go
If you were a Spondias tuberosa, I'd gather you up
If you were a dove, I'd raise you
If you were made of steel, I'd forge you
If I weren't quite sure, I'd guess
Whatever you sold, I'd buy
If you were a marble, I'd steal you

If you were on Big Brother, I'd vote for you
In the pasture on the ranch, I would call out to you
If I planted a little butiá palm
If you were a buriti palm, I'd peel you
If you were a watermelon, I'd like you
If you were cream, I'd adore you
If you were Häagen-Dazs, I'd love you

But you are you, and you're better
You're better than the shade of the inga tree
But you are you, and you're better
More fragrant than a mango in the mango tree
But you are you, and you're better
More loving than a mulberry on the mulberry tree
My gold, embedded in the backlands
My gaucho, Brazilian silver
