Minha Gioconda (Mia Gioconda)

From the day we were born and lived for the world
We lack a rib that we find in a second
Sometimes, very close, we wish to find it
However, it is necessary to go very far to find it

Let's see the destiny of a Brazilian soldier
Leaving for Italy, he became a warrior
And there, very far away, he felt love blooming
And said these words to a young woman when he saw her

Italian
Today you are my life
I love you so much
We will leave together
I can't leave you anymore

Italian
I want you, little blonde
You have the face of loves
Your lips are two flowers
You will be my Gioconda

Defeated the enemy who was once manly
Received the F.E.B. order to embark for Brazil
The same order said: Those who are married
Cannot take their wives, the wives will stay

Then the brave promised, upon discharge and becoming civilian
You will embark, beloved, to the skies of my Brazil!
And while she waited at the Neapolitan dock
She repeated these words in Italian

Brazilian
Today you are my life
I love you so much
I ask God that you come
I can't forget you anymore

Brazilian
I am still your blonde
My husband has left
This abandoned heart
That you called Gioconda

Gioconda!
Gioconda!
