Apesar de Cigano

I walked the world looking for
A great love
Buzzing of bees
Sniffing the flower's honey
And many women were flowers
In my garden
But it didn't help
You were in me

I loved in Beijing
In Jerusalem
In Amsterdam
But my divan
Is your Tupi skin
Guarana, Guarani
I arrived in Paris
From there I could see

All your light
My Vera Cruz
I love you
And despite being a gypsy,
I only think of you
The flower that falls from your branch
Dies missing the root
My Vera Cruz
My life
Vera Cruz my life
My love

Ladies and Madonnas
Gave me their hearts
And I, a bit of a pirate
Sailed in these passions
But your saintly light accompanies me
Wherever I go
I arrived in Baghdad
You were still in me

I loved in Beijing
In Jerusalem
In Amsterdam
But my divan
Is your Tupi skin
Guarana, Guarani
I arrived in Paris
From there I could see
All your light
My Vera Cruz
I love you
And despite being a gypsy,
I only think of you

Our little ones
Our bars
Hail Mother Oxum
Hail God Tupã
