A Bossa Nova É Foda

Caetano Veloso Caetano Veloso

Bossa Nova is Awesome

The wizard from Juazeiro in a cave of the laurel tree
(Who will have had this sandy farm?)
Cassette tapes, an exercise bike, some oxtail leftovers
Outside the world still twists to face the equation

Pure invention
Fashion dance

Bossa nova is awesome

The great ancient Greek instrument says that when you arrive here
That it's a gift that many men don't have, that it's influenced by jazz
And it doesn't matter if the romantic Jewish bard from Minnesota
Swineherd Eumaeus recognizes him back to Ithaca

Our life will never be the same
Samba-de-roda
Neo-Carnival
São Francisco River
Rio de Janeiro
Sugarcane field

Bossa nova is awesome

The tone of everything commands the waves of the sea
Sound waves with which it colors in space
Cruel man, destroyer, of intense, monumental brightness

Gave the poet, old prophet, the key to the ammunition house
The old man transformed the myth of the sad races

Into Minotaurs
Junior Cigano
Into José Aldo
Lyoto Machida
Vítor Belfort
Anderson Silva
And the whole thing
