Coqueiro Verde
Trio Mocotó Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Esperei uma eternidade
Já fumei um cigarro e meio
E Narinha não veio
Como diz Leila Diniz
O homem tem que ser durão
Se ela não chegar agora
Pois eu vou me embora
Vou ler o meu Pasquim
Se ela chega e não me vê
Sai correndo atrás de mim
The lyrics of Trio Mocotó's song "Coqueiro Verde" is a story of a man who waited for a long time under a green coconut tree for his girlfriend, Narinha, who didn't show up. The singer reflects on the idea that a man must be tough and not wait around for a woman who does not value him or his time. He expresses his frustration through smoking one and a half cigarettes and waiting for Narinha to arrive, but eventually decides to leave and read his Pasquim magazine instead. The singer expresses his disinterest in Narinha's late arrival, suggesting that if she does not show up, he will go about his business without her.
The lyrics take inspiration from the feminist teachings of Brazilian actress Leila Diniz, suggesting that women should not control men, and men should not wait around for women who do not value them. The song also speaks about the social and cultural changes happening in Brazil at the time, when people were influenced by the ideologies of left-wing politics and independence movements.

Em frente ao coqueiro verde
Standing in front of the green coconut tree
Esperei uma eternidade
I waited an eternity
Já fumei um cigarro e meio
I have already smoked one and a half cigarettes
E Narinha não veio
And Narinha didn't come
Como diz Leila Diniz
Like Leila Diniz says
O homem tem que ser durão
A man has to be tough
Se ela não chegar agora
If she doesn't arrive now
Não precisa chegar
She doesn't need to come
Pois eu vou me embora
So I'm leaving
Vou ler o meu Pasquim
I'm going to read my Pasquim magazine
Se ela chega e não me vê
If she arrives and doesn't see me
Sai correndo atrás de mim
She'll run after me
