Original text with translation
Elis Regina
Caía
A tarde feito um viaduto
E um bêbado trajando luto
Me lembrou Carlitos
A lua
Tal qual a dona dum bordel
Pedia a cada estrela fria
Um brilho de aluguel
E nuvens
Lá no mata-borrão do céu
Chupavam manchas torturadas
Que sufoco!
Louco,
O bêbado com chapéu coco
Fazia irreverências mil
Pra noite do Brasil
Meu Brasil
Que sonha
Com a volta do irmão do Henfil
Com tanta gente que partiu
Num rabo de foguete
Chora a nossa pátria mãe gentil
Choram Marias e Clarisses
No solo do Brasil
Mas sei
Que uma dor assim pungente
Não há de ser inutilmente
A esperan’a dan’a
Na corda bamba de sombrinha
E em cada passo dessa linha
Pode se machucar
Azar
A esperan’a equilibrista
Sabe que o show de todo artista
Tem que continuar
fell
In the afternoon made a viaduct
And a drunk wearing mourning
It reminded me of Carlitos
The moon
Like the owner of a brothel
I asked each cold star
A rent shine
E clouds
There in the sky blotter
Sucked tortured stains
What a choke!
Crazy,
The drunk with the bowler hat
I made a thousand irreverences
For the night of Brazil
My Brazil
who dreams
With the return of Henfil's brother
With so many people gone
In a rocket tail
Cry our kind motherland
Marias and Clarisses cry
On Brazilian soil
But I know
What a stinging pain
It doesn't have to be uselessly
A esperan'a dan'a
On the tightrope of umbrella
And in each step of this line
You can get hurt
Bad luck
The balancing act
Do you know that every artist's show
Must go on
