Morena de Angola
Chico Buarque
Angolan Brunette
Brunette from Angola
Who wears a rattle tied to his shin
Does she move the rattle?
Or is it the rattle that moves her?
Brunette from Angola
Who wears a rattle tied to his shin
Does she move the rattle?
Or is it the rattle that moves her?
Does the brunette doze off?
Listening to the rattle whisper?
Will you wake up swinging?
And are you already rushing off to work?
Brunette from Angola
Who wears a rattle tied to his shin
Does she move the rattle?
Or is it the rattle that moves her?
Is she in the kitchen?
Stewing chicken with blood?
Did you forget the chicken?
And he kept banging on the pan?
Could it be that in the middle of the forest
In the bush the brunette still rattles?
Doesn't she get excited?
To dance in the flames of battle?
Brunette from Angola
Who wears a rattle tied to his shin
Passing through the regiment
She makes the sentry shake
Ya, ya-ya, ya, ya-ya
Ya, ya-ya, ya, ya-ya
Brunette from Angola
Who wears a rattle tied to his shin
Does she move the rattle?
Or is it the rattle that moves her?
Brunette from Angola
Who wears a rattle tied to his shin
Does she move the rattle?
Or is it the rattle that moves her?
Will you go to bed when
Does the brunette forget about the rattles?
Are you dating?
Making fun of your trinkets?
Brunette from Angola
Who wears a rattle tied to his shin
Does she move the rattle?
Or is it the rattle that moves her?
I wonder if she's being careful
In the fish I brought from Benguela?
Is it in the swing?
And left my fish in the bowl?
Will it be when it gets shocking?
Quarantine your rattle?
Will she put the cinnamon on later?
In the brat's niche?
Brunette from Angola
Who wears a rattle tied to his shin
I think I left a curl
From my heart in Catumbela
Ya, ya-ya, ya, ya-ya
Ya, ya-ya, ya, ya-ya
Ya, ya-ya, ya, ya-ya
Ya, ya-ya, ya, ya-ya
Brunette from Angola
Who wears a rattle tied to his shin
Does she move the rattle?
Or is it the rattle that moves her?
Ya, ya-ya, ya, ya-ya
Ya, ya-ya, ya, ya-ya
Brunette from Angola
Who wears a rattle tied to his shin
Brunette, naughty little sissy
My MPLA comrade
Ya, ya-ya, ya, ya-ya
Ya, ya-ya, ya, ya-ya
