MINHA by Cartola, new words by Joel Sattler

 

New title: “Gypsy”

 

 

Gypsy

The queen of dreaming, my gypsy

You know the secrets of our history 

Who knows what wonders you’ve foreseen?

 

Gypsy

Look in your crystal ball and see me

And you will see my past and free me

From being stuck here in the in-between

 

Gypsy

Living your life without a fear and

You seem so wise beyond your years al-

Though you are only almost seventeen!

 

Gypsy

The queen of dreaming, my gypsy

You know the secrets of our history 

Who knows what wonders you’ve foreseen?

 

Gypsy

Look in your crystal ball and see me

And you will see my past and free me

From being stuck here in the in-between

 

Gypsy

Living your life without a fear and

You seem so wise beyond your years al-

Though you are only almost seventeen!

Original lyrics in Portuguese:

 

Minha

Quem disse que ela foi minha

Se fosse seria a rainha

Que sempre vinha

Aos sonhos meus

 

Minha

Ela não foi um só instante

como mentiam as cartomantes

como eram falsas as bolas de cristal

 

Minha

Repete agora esta cigana

Lembrando fatos envelhecidos

que já não ferem mais os meus ouvidos

 

Minha

Quem disse que ela foi minha

Se fosse seria a rainha

Que sempre vinha

Aos sonhos meus

 

Minha

Ela não foi um só instante

como mentiam as cartomantes

como eram falsas as bolas de cristal

 

Minha

Repete agora esta cigana

Lembrando fatos envelhecidos

que já não ferem mais os meus ouvidos
