Itapuã
Caetano Veloso
Itapuã
Our love shone over the moving waters
She was my guide when I was happy and young
Our rhythm, our shine, our fruit of the future
Everything was in the morning
Our sex, our style, our reflection of the world
Everything was in Itapuã
Itapuã, your full moons, your ugly houses
Saw everything, everything, the whole of us
Itapuã, your mud, algae, souls that you blend
Hold all, all, the scent of us
Abaeté, this white sand no one can take from us
It's what God made us
Nothing stops in Itapuã
I'm still happy
Itapuã, when you're not around, your tall palms
Send a breeze to me, like this: Caymmi
Itapuã, your sun burns me and my verse insists
On singing your name, your name without end
Abaeté, all mine and hers
The beautiful lagoon knows, hushes, and speaks
I sing you in the stars within you
I am happy
She was my guide when I was happy and young
