MULHER SEMPRE MULHER by Antonio Carlos Jobim, new words by Joel Sattler

New title: “For Love”

For love!

Why why for love?

What would you do,

do do for love?

Would you endure ridicule?

Would you look like a fool?

Would you lose all your cool

and break all rules in the name of love?

For love what would you choose?

Perhaps you would kick a mule,

skip school,

or maybe move off to Istanbul?

For love,

how far would you go?

Go all the way

or do you know?

Would you go jump in a lake

Make a fatal mistake

give up on your head

and your pride 

And you don’t even know why!

you don’t even know why!

Original lyrics in Portuguese by Vinicius de Moraes

Mulher, ai, ai, mulher

Sempre mulher

Dê no que der

Você me abraça, me beija, me xinga

Me bota mandinga

Depois faz a briga

Só pra ver quebrar

Mulher, seja leal

Você bota muita banca

Infelizmente eu não sou jornal

Mulher, martírio meu

O nosso amor

Deu no que deu

E sendo assim, não insista

Desista, vá fazendo a pista

Chore um bocadinho

E se esqueça de mim

E se esqueça de mim
