Samba de Orly [English translation]

Go, my brother

Take that plane

You are right in running away in that manner

Of that chill, but kiss

My Rio de Janeiro

Before some adventurer

Takes hold

Ask for forgiveness

For that span of time

But don't say anything

Of seeing me cry

And the tough men*

Tell them I'm carrying on

See how it goes

That life of nothingness

And if you can send me

Some good news

Ask for forgiveness

For that somewhat forced omission

But don't say anything

Of seeing me cry

And the tough men*

Tell them I'm carrying on

See how it goes

That life of nothingness

And if you can send me

Some good news
