Tarde em Itapuã [English translation]

An old swimming trunk

A day for rest

A boundless sea

And a rainbow in the sky

Then at the Caymmi plaza

Feel the body’s laziness

And on a wicker mat

Drink some coconut water

It’s nice

Spend an afternoon in Itapuã

Under the sun that burns in Itapuã

Listening to the sea in Itapuã

Speak words of love in Itapuã

Spend an afternoon in Itapuã

Under the sun that burns in Itapuã

Listening to the sea in Itapuã

Speak words of love in Itapuã

As the sea inaugurates

A new green on the leaf

Argue with sweetness

With a corked cachaça*

And with a forgotten gaze

At the encounter of the sky and sea

Very slowly start feeling

The whole of earth roll

It’s nice

Spend an afternoon in Itapuã

Under the sun that burns in Itapuã

Listening to the sea in Itapuã

Speak words of love in Itapuã

Spend an afternoon in Itapuã

Under the sun that burns in Itapuã

Listening to the sea in Itapuã

Speak words of love in Itapuã

Afterwards feel the chill

Of the breeze that night brings

And the soft whispers

That sprout from the coconut trees

And on the serene spaces

Without yesterday nor tomorrow

Sleep on the dark-skinned arms

Of Itapuã’s moon

It’s nice

Spend an afternoon in Itapuã

Under the sun that burns in Itapuã

Listening to the sea in Itapuã

Speak words of love in Itapuã

Spend an afternoon in Itapuã

Under the sun that burns in Itapuã

Listening to the sea in Itapuã

Speak words of love in Itapuã

Spend an afternoon in Itapuã

Under the sun that burns in Itapuã

Listening to the sea in Itapuã

Speak words of love in Itapuã

Spend an afternoon in Itapuã

Under the sun that burns in Itapuã

Listening to the sea in Itapuã

Speak words of love in Itapuã
