As Mocinhas da Cidade
Guilherme & Santiago
The Girls from the City
The girls from the city
Are pretty and dance so well
I danced once with a brown-skinned girl
And I just wanted her so bad!
As the sun starts to rise
And the longing comes creeping in
I’m gonna find that beautiful brown-skinned girl
So I can live in peace
I went to the brown girl’s house
To ask for some water to drink
It’s not thirst, it’s nothing, brown girl
I just came here to see you
Even though your dad doesn’t want
Me to marry you
But once we’re married, brown girl
He’ll come to understand me
