Baghdad Blues

Bagdah Blues

Oh Baghdad, the moon is risingOh bagdah, sobe o luar
Lovers are there.Os namorados lá.
Everything's a garden, sweet jasmineTudo é jardim, doce jasmim
Junior and Sandy over thereJunior e sandy ali

From Hollywood, a luteDe hollywood, um alaude
Came to mix it upVeio pra misturar
We, the mutants, of now and thenNós, os mutantes, de hoje e de antes
With Muhammad Ali, here and thereCom mohamed ali, aqui, acolá

Ala, oh! BaghdadAla, oh! Bagdah
The mothers, the brides from thereAs mães, as noivas de lá
Children singingCrianças a cantar
With the doves, they suckleCom as pombas, elas mamam
On the wick of our bombsNo pavio de nossas bombas
Ali Baba, Ali Baba is thereAli baba, ali baba tá lá

Oriental Paris above good and evil!Paris oriental acima do bem, mau!
Took Europeans to the skyLevou europeu ao céu
With hookahs, heads on feetCom os narguilés, cabeça nos pés
The dance of the seven veilsA dança dos sete véus

Hebe Camargo with a wise kingHebe camargo com um rei mago
To gift JesusPara jesus presentear
For Friar Beto, everything has a measurePara frei beto tudo tem metro
But there's Muhammad Ali, ala, thereMas há mohamed ali, ala, ali

After Saddam Hussein, ala!Depois de sadam hussein, ala!
Uncle Sam wants our jade, ala!Tio sam quer nosso jáde, ala!
To take from ScheherazadeTirar de sheerazade
A thousand and one nights of hersMil e uma noite suas
Leaves our moon bareDeixa nua a nossa lua
Ali Baba, Ali Baba is thereAli baba, ali baba tá lá

Ali, ala, oh! BaghdadAli, ala, oh! Bagdah
The mothers, the brides from thereAs mães, as noivas de lá
Children singingCrianças a cantar
With the doves, they suckleCom as pombas, elas mamam
On the wick of our bombsNo pavio de nossas bombas
Ali Baba, Ali Baba is thereAli baba, ali baba tá lá
