António Zambujo "Joana Francesa" lyrics

Translation to:en

Joana Francesa

Tu ris, tu mens tropTu pleures, tu meurs tropTu as le tropiqueDans le sang et sur la peauGeme de loucura e de torporJá é madrugadaAcorda, acorda, acorda, acorda, acorda

Mata-me de rirFala-me de amorSonges et mensongesSei de longe e sei de corGeme de prazer e de pavorJá é madrugadaAcorda, acorda, acorda, acorda, acorda

Vem molhar meu coloVou te consolarVem, mulato moleDançar dans mes brasVem, moleque me dizerOnde é que estáTon soleil, ta braise

Quem me enfeitiçouO mar, marée, bateauTu as le parfumDe la cachaça e de suorGeme de preguiça e de calorJá é madrugadaAcorda, acorda, acorda, acorda, acorda

French Joana

You laugh, you lie a lotYou cry, you die tooYou have the tropicsIn the blood and on the skinMoan of madness and of torporIt's already dawnWake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up

Kill me laughingTell me about loveDreams and liesI know them well and I know by heartMoan of pleasure and of fearIt's already dawnWake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up

Come and wet my neckI will comfort youCome gentle mulattoDance in my armsCome, boy, tell meWhere isYour sun, your embers

Who bewitched meThe sea, the tide, the boatYou have the scentOf the brandy and the sweatMoan of laziness and heatIt's already dawnWake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
