Vou Pra Campinas
Alceu Valença
I'm Going to Campinas
I saw the sun
And the morning star
I'm going to Campinas
On this road through the air
I left Rio de Janeiro
At eleven o'clock
When the sun became a ball
Spilling its light
Setting fire
To the waters of Guanabara
Like a brushfire
And I on the wings of the plane
I'm a bluebird
Singing bird
Singer of the parties
Of Saint Peter and Saint John
I'm heading
To the city of Campinas
To see the girls
Today I know
That I'm going to play
Shine beautifully
Like the morning star
Enchant you, girl
Be your thrush
