Gabriela

I came from the north, I came from far
From a place that no longer exists
I came sleeping along the road
I ended up in this place
My scent is of cloves
My color is cinnamon
My flag
Is green and yellow
Scented pepper
Sliced onion
A kiss on the mouth
Beans in the pot
Gabriela
Always Gabriela

I brewed a still dark coffee
And soon set off
I want to see Gabriela again
To taste her scent once more
Early morning in the woods
The sun poured its affection
A shine on the jackfruit leaf
I thought of seeing my dear one again
Gabriela

If there was still some money left
I could buy you a dress
And another little bottle of scent
Tell you a secret in your ear
I brought you a real ring
Dreamed it was your favorite
I thought, thought of so many things
Ah, let me be your husband
I thought, thought of so many things
I wanted to marry you
Gabriela
Gabriela
Every day this longing
Happiness, where are you
I can't live without her anymore
I came to the city to see Gabriela

I've been thinking so much about life
Come back, bandit, kill this pain
Come back home, stay with me
I forgive you with anger and love
Come closer, handsome boy
Come closer, my ray of sunshine
My house is a dark desert
But with you, it's full of sunshine
Wet your mouth with mine
Your mouth is my sweet, my salt

But who am I in this crazy life?
Just another clown in your carnival
House of shadows, life of a monk
So much rum in my pain
Come back home, stay with me
I wait for you trembling with love

On a moonless night, I jumped the fence
Fell off the horse, lost Gabriela
Oh waxing moon, oh simple moon
Enchanting moon, where is Gabriela?

Yesterday I came from Pilar
Just yesterday I came from Pilar
I already feel like going there
Yesterday I came from there
Just yesterday I came from there
I already feel like going there
And on the guitar string, everyone sambas
And on the guitar string, everyone sambas
Everyone sambas
Everyone sambas, break stone...
