O Rancho da Goiabada

Elis Regina Elis Regina

The Guava Paste Ranch

The farmworkers when they have a drink
Chasing away the sadness
Dreaming of steak-and-eggs, french fries
And dessert

It's guava paste with lots of cheese
Then coffee, cigarette, and a kiss
From a mulatto named Leonor or Dagmar

To love
The battery-powered radio, the alligator stove, the lunchbox, the Sunday
at the bar
Where so many alike gather telling lies
To be able to endure

Oh, they are shamans, hitchhikers are samba dancers
They are flagellants, they are pendants, shop assistants
Clowns, Martians, cannibals, lilies, crazies
Dancing asleep with eyes open in the shadow of the allegory
Of the embalmed pharaohs
