Samba de Orly [English translation]

Go, my friend

Get this flight

You have the reason to run away like that

from this cold, but kiss

My Rio de Janeiro

Before some adventurer

takes hold

Apologizes

for the duration of this season

But don’t say nothing

that you saw me crying

and for those pesada¹ men

Tell that I’m carry on

See how is going

that life of loafing

and if you can, send me

one good new

Apologizes

For this somewhat forced omission

But don’t say nothing

that you saw me crying

and for those pesada¹ men

Tell that I’m carry on

See how is going

that life of loafing

and if you can, send me

one good new
