Ai De Ti Copacabana - Alceu Valença

Eu te procuro

No Leblon, Copacabana

Vejo velas de umbanda

Um buquê jogado ao mar

Um marinheiro, estrangeiro, desumano

Deixou seu amor chorando querendo se afogar

No mar

Oh, oh, no mar

Eu te procuro nos lençóis da minha cama

Ai de ti, Copacabana, será duro o teu penar

Pelo pecado de esconderes quem me ama

Ai de ti, Copacabana, serás submersa ao mar

No mar

Oh, oh, no mar

O riacho navega pro rio

E o rio desagua no mar

Pororoca faz um desafio

No encontro do rio com o mar

No mar

Oh, oh, no mar

Então mergulho no meu sonho absurdo

Entre carros, conchas, búzios

Entre os peixinhos do mar

Lembro Caymmi, Rubem Braga, João de Barro

E sigo no itinerário da princesinha do mar

No mar

Oh, oh, no mar

I look for you

In Leblon, Copacabana

I see umbanda candles

A bouquet thrown overboard

A sailor, foreigner, inhuman

Left your love crying wanting to drown

At sea

Oh, oh, at sea

I look for you in the sheets of my bed

Woe to you, Copacabana, your suffering will be hard

For the sin of hiding the one who loves me

Woe to you, Copacabana, you will be submerged in the sea

At sea

Oh, oh, at sea

The creek navigates to the river

And the river flows into the sea

Pororoca poses a challenge

At the meeting of the river with the sea

At sea

Oh, oh, at sea

So I dive into my absurd dream

Between cars, shells, whelks

Among the sea fish

I remember Caymmi, Rubem Braga, João de Barro

I follow the little princess of the sea itinerary

At sea

Oh, oh, at sea
