Nina
Chico Buarque
Nina
Nina says her skin's as white as snow
And her two eyes are black as coal
Nina says that, even though she's young
For love, she's cried like a widow
But that's over, she's moved on
Nina loves to travel, but she won't dare
To a faraway land like mine
Nina says she made my map
And in the sky, my fate's been snatched
By hers
Nina says if I want, I can see on the screen
The city, the neighborhood, the chimney of her home
I can picture inside her house
The clothes she wears, her highlights, her crown
I can even guess the look on her face
When she writes to me
Nina longs to meet me soon
To take me out in Moscow's night
Whenever this waltz plays
I close my eyes, sip some vodka
And go
