Volks Volkswagen Blue
Gilberto Gil Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Zeca, meu pai, comprou
Um Volks-Volkswagen blue
Zeca, meu pai, comprou
Um carrinho todo azul

Para Beto, para Dina
Chega benção de Claudina
Anda minha mãe mofina
Que saudade, que saudade das meninas
Duas marinaravilhas
Minha cara, duas filhas
Minha caravela, ê
Vai seguindo rumo, ê
Minha cara Bela, ê
Vai seguindo rumo, ê
Viva Bela, ê, ê, camará
Vida bela, ê, ê, camará
Margarida, ê
Me criou pra valer
Morena, morenê, camará
Vou ficar com você
Vou viver com você, camará
Com Jesus vou morrer

Zeca, meu pai, comprou
Um VW mais novo
Zeca, meu pai, mandou
Um beijo, um abraço saudoso

Zeca, meu pai, comprou
Um VW mais novo




Zeca, meu pai, mandou
Um beijo, um abraço gostoso

Qq coisa

Let me present to you My Volks-Volkswagen blues Ready to carry me away A long way to reach the moon Let me present to you My Volks-Volkswagen blues Ready to carry me away A long way to reach the moon Such an idea fills my daydream Such an idea brings a moon beam Such a floating light thread Hangs on my little cabin, lonely cabin My lunar Volkswagen cabin With no men, no dog, no bag in Such an idea thrills my soul Breaks down my self control So I haste away to find Accelerating my mind Now my cabin floats holding me in I've got the space under my skin Such an idea thrills my soul Breaks down my self control But I feel like a yolk in a egg On the way to the moon Thrown high in the sky by my dream In my Volkswagen blues Let me present to you My Volks-Volkswagen blues Ready to carry me away A long way to reach the moon Let me present, let me sing to you My Volks-Volkswagen blues Ready to carry me away A long way to reach the moon

Na minha humilde opinião, Gil é o cantor que mais perfeitamente canta em inglês. Os regues então!

Antônio Neto

Coisa linda. Uma prova da excelência da música brasileira.

Sid Vicious

O inglês do cara tá realmente excelente, e olha que isso foi gravado no ínicio dos anos 70.
