Your Hair Doesn't Deny

Lamartine Babo

O Teu Cabelo Não Nega

O teu cabelo não nega, mulata
Porque és mulata na cor
Mas como a cor não pega mulata
Mulata, eu quero o teu amor

Tens um sabor bem do Brasil
Tens a alma cor de anil
Mulata, mulatinha, meu amor
Fui nomeado teu tenente interventor

Quem te inventou, meu pancadão
Teve uma consagração
A Lua te invejando faz careta
Porque mulata, tu não és deste planeta

Quando, meu bem, vieste à terra
Portugal declarou guerra

A concorrência então foi colossal
Vasco da Gama contra o batalhão naval

Your Hair Doesn't Deny

Your hair doesn't deny, mulatto
Because you're mulatto in color
But as the color doesn't stick, mulatto
Mulatto, I want your love

You have a taste of Brazil
You have a soul the color of anil
Mulatto, little mulatto, my love
I was appointed your lieutenant intervener

Who invented you, my big hit
Had a consecration
The Moon envies you and makes a face
Because mulatto, you are not from this planet

When, my dear, you came to earth
Portugal declared war

The competition then was colossal
Vasco da Gama against the naval battalion
