Adriana Calcanhotto "Porto Alegre" lyrics

Translation to:deelen

Porto Alegre

Amarrado num mastroTapando as orelhasEu resistiAo encanto das sereiasEu não ouviO canto das sereiasEu resisti

Mas chegando à praiaNão fiz nada dissoEntão caíNos braços de CalipsoEu sucumbiAo encanto de CalipsoNão resisti

Depois disso eu não tiveNenhum outro vícioSenão dançarAo ritmo de CalipsoPois eu caíNas graças de CalipsoNão resistiAo encanto de CalipsoSó sei dançarAo ritmo de CalipsoCalipso

Merry harbor

Tied to the mast of a ship,Covering the ears with my hands,I could resistthe charm of sirensI did not hearthe call of sirensI resisted it

But as soon as I had reached the banks,I did not do that againAnd so, I fellInto the arms of CalypsoI succumbedTo the charm of CalypsoI could not resist it

Ever since, I have hadNo more vices,Apart from dancingTo the rythm of CalypsoBecause I fellIn love with CalypsoI could not resistThe charm of CalypsoAll I want is to danceTo the rhythm of CalypsoCalypso
