Chaos

Barafunda

It was AuroraEra Aurora
No, it was AureliaNão, era Aurélia
Or was it Ariela?Ou era Ariela
I can't remember nowNão me lembro agora
It's the yellow skirt from that summerÉ a saia amarela daquele verão
That still spins in my memoryQue roda até hoje na recordação

It was in PenhaFoi na Penha
No, it was in GlóriaNão, foi na Glória
I recorded it in my mindGravei na memória
But I lost the passwordMas perdi a senha
The facts get mixed upMisturam-se os fatos
The photos are oldAs fotos são velhas
Black hairCabelos pretos
Red flagsBandeiras vermelhas
It was GarrinchaFoi Garrincha
No, it was on a bikeNão, foi de bicicleta
I swear I saw that ball go in the drawerJuro que vi aquela bola entrar na gaveta
Goal kickTiro de meta

It was in the warFoi na guerra
Yeah, late at nightÉ, noite alta
The astronaut shoutedGritou o astronauta
That the Earth was blueQue era azul a Terra
When the green-and-pink won the championshipQuando a verde-e-rosa saiu campeã
Singing Cartola at dawnCantando Cartola ao romper da manhã

Hail the blue daySalve o dia azul
Hail the partySalve a festa
And hail the forest, hail the poetryE salve a floresta, salve a poesia
And save this samba before forgetfulnessE salve este samba antes que o esquecimento
Covers its mantleBaixe seu manto
Your gray mantleSeu manto cinzento
It was GlorinhaFoi Glorinha
No, it was MaristelaNão, era Maristela
I swear I was gonna marry her in PenhaJuro que eu ia até casar na Penha com ela
Life is beautifulA vida é bela

Yeah, it isÉ, não é
It was Zizinho, it was PeléEra Zizinho era Pelé
By the way, Soraia was AnabelaAliás, Soraia era Anabela
The skirt was yellowEra amarela a saia
It was when the green-and-pink won the championshipFoi quando a verde-e-rosa saiu campeã
Singing Cartola at dawnCantando Cartola ao romper da manhã
Hail the blue daySalve o dia azul
Hail the partySalve a festa
And hail the forest, hail the poetryE salve a floresta, salve a poesia
And save this samba before forgetfulnessE salve este samba antes que o esquecimento
Covers its mantleBaixe seu manto
Your gray mantleSeu manto cinzento
It was AuroraEra Aurora
No, it was BarbarelaNão, era Barbarela
I swear I was gonna go to Kazakhstan after herJuro que eu ia até o Cazaquistão atrás dela
Life is beautifulA vida é bela

It's Garrincha, it's Cartola, and it's MandelaÉ Garrincha, é Cartola e é Mandela
