Caetano Veloso "Tigresa" lyrics

Translation to:enfr

Tigresa

Uma tigresa de unhas negras e íris cor de melUma mulher, uma beleza que me aconteceuEsfregando a pele de ouro marrom do seu corpo contra o meuMe falou que o mal é bom e o bem cruel

Enquanto os pelos dessa deusa tremem ao vento ateuEla me conta, sem certeza, tudo o que viveuQue gostava de política em 1966E hoje dança no Frenetic Dancing Days

Ela me conta que era atriz e trabalhou no HairCom alguns homens foi feliz, com outros foi mulherQue tem muito ódio no coração, que tem dado muito amorE espalhado muito prazer e muita dor

Mas ela ao mesmo tempo diz que tudo vai mudarPorque ela vai ser o que quis, inventando um lugarOnde a gente e a natureza feliz vivam sempre em comunhãoE a tigresa possa mais do que o leão

As garras da felina me marcaram o coraçãoMas as besteiras de menina que ela disse, nãoE eu corri pra o violão num lamento, e a manhã nasceu azulComo é bom poder tocar um instrumento

Tigress

A black-nailed tigress with honey-colored eyesA woman, a beauty that happened to meRubbing the brown golden skin of her body against mineTelling me that bad is in fact good, and good is actually cruel

While the fur of that goddess shakes to the godless windShe tells me, quite uncertain, everything she's been throughthat she was very involved in politics in 1966And now she's a dancer at Frenetic Dancing Days

She tells me she used to be an actress and had a role in "Hair"that she was happy with some men, and a woman with othersthat she carries plenty of rage in her heart, as she has been giving much loveAnd spreading a great amount of both pleasure and pain

But at the same time she says that everything is going to changeBecause she will be whatever she wants, creating her own placeWhere mankind and nature shall be happy and live in communionAnd where the tigress shall be more intimidating than the lion

Her feline claws left a mark in my heartBut the childish foolishness in her words did notAnd then I ran to my guitar in a lament, and morning came just as blueHow good it is to be able to play an instrument!
