Geni Y El Zepelin
Chico Buarque
Geni And The Zeppelin
From the limping and the one-eyed
From the underworld of the port
She walked in love
Her body belongs to the wanderers
Vagabonds and emigrants,
Those who have nothing
She gave herself since she was a child
In garages or bars,
By the pool, in the mountains
Queen of the prisoners,
The crazy, the beggars,
The children from the asylum
Often in her care
There are abandoned old people
And widows with no future
She is good like few are
That's why the whole city
Will keep repeating:
Throw stones at Geni,
Throw stones at Geni
She is made to endure,
She is made to be spat on,
She gives herself to anyone,
Accursed Geni
One day a brilliant
Zeppelin emerged among the clouds
A huge zeppelin
It stopped at the buildings
Opened a thousand holes
With a thousand cannons like that
The whole city terrified
Remained paralyzed,
Almost turned into jelly
But from the giant zeppelin
Descended the commander
Saying - I changed my mind
When I saw in this city
So much horror and iniquity
I decided to make it explode
But I can avoid the drama
If that beautiful lady
Surrenders to me at night
That lady was Geni,
But she can't be Geni,
She is made to endure,
She is made to be spat on,
She gives herself to anyone,
Accursed Geni
Without even intending it
With such innocence and sincerity
She captivated the stranger
The warrior so showy,
So feared and powerful
Was left a prisoner of her
It happens that the maiden
- and that was her secret -
Also had her whims
And to give herself to a man so noble,
So smelling of shine and copper,
She preferred to love the bugs
Upon hearing such heresy
The city in pilgrimage
Came to kiss her hand
The prefect on his knees,
The bishop sneakily,
The banker and his thousand
Go with him, see Geni
Go with him, see Geni,
The one who can save us,
The one who will redeem us,
She gives herself to anyone,
Blessed Geni
There were so many requests,
So sincere, so heartfelt,
That she overcame her disgust
That agonizing night
She gave herself to such a lover
As one gives themselves to the executioner
He did so much filth
Relishing in vice
Until he was satisfied
And as soon as dawn broke
He left on a cold cloud
With his silver zeppelin
With a relieved sigh
She lay down on her side
And tried to smile
But then at daybreak
The city in uproar
Didn't let her sleep
- throw stones at Geni,
Throw stones at Geni,
She is made to endure,
She is made to be spat on
She gives herself to anyone,
Accursed Geni
