Music and Poetry

lyrics

Girl from Ipanema

Tall and tan
Cheia de graça
Swaying hips that will leave you dreaming
Sabor de cravo e canela
Brown sugar and spice
Morena, gostosa

I am a girl from the south
South of the equator
You may think I am hot
But Girl from Ipanema
I am not
I don’t mind Carmen Miranda
Yes, we’ve got bananas
But please spare me from your samba

I think Gisele Bundchen is too skinny
Never mind the size of my biquini
I don’t care about soccer, feijoada
Cachaça or carnival
Yeah, Rio is beautiful
Mas o Brasil é mais legal

My jungle is made out of concrete
My food is Japanese, Italian
And Lebanese
Even though I may love Spanish
I speak Portuguese

Mulher brasileira
Salve, salve
Stand tall and show what you’ve got
Estudante, professora
Empregada, secretária,
Boia fria, operária,
Empresária,
Artista
Guerreira
Bonita
Daughter, sister
Mother, lover
Parceira
Carinhosa
Companheira
