Joana Francesa

You laugh, you lie too much
You cry, you die too much
You have the tropics in your blood and on your skin
Moan from madness and torpor
It is already dawn, alright, alright, alright

Make me die of laughter
Talk to me of love
Dreams and lies, I know them both by heart
Moan from pleasure and dread
It is already dawn, awaken, awaken, awaken

Come, cry on my shoulder, I want to comfort you
Come, tender mulatto, dance in my arms
Come, child and tell me where your sun and coal are

Who cast a spell on me?
The sea, tide and boat
You carry the scent of cachaça and sweat
Moan from laziness and heat
It is already dawn, alright, alright, alright
Awaken, awaken, awaken
Alright, alright, alright
