Original text with translation
Sergio Mendes
Rio, vim saber de ti e vi Vi teu tropical sem fim
Quadrou de ser um mar
Longe Anhangá!
Tantas cunhãs e eu curumim!
O uirapuru
(Oh! lua azul!)
Cantou pra mim!
Rio, vim saber de ti, meu mar
Negro maracá jari
Pará, Paris jardim
Muiraquitãs,
Tantas manhãs — nós no capim!
Jurupari
(Oh! Deus daqui!)
Jurou assim:
«Porque fugir, se enfim me queres?
Só me feriu como me feres
A mais civilizada das mulheres!
Senhoras do Amazonas que sois
Donas dos homens e das setas
Por que já não amais vossos poetas?»
Rio, I came to know about you and I saw your endless tropical
Framed to be a sea
Far away Anhangá!
So many cunhãs and I curumim!
O uirapuru
(Oh! blue moon!)
sang for me!
Rio, I came to know about you, my sea
black maraca jari
Para, Paris garden
muiraquitãs,
So many mornings — we were in the grass!
Jurupari
(Oh! God here!)
She swore like this:
«Why run away, if you finally want me?
It only hurt me like you hurt me
The most civilized of women!
Ladies of the Amazons that you are
Owners of men and arrows
Why do you no longer love your poets?”
