La Brasilera
Carlos Vives
The Brazilian Woman
I met her one morning
that arrived by plane to my land
and when they introduced me to her
she told me she was Brazilian
And surely she crossed the border
to see herself getting into my soul
Love knows no borders
it's a very pleasant feeling
and that explains how a vallenato
can make a Brazilian fall in love
That's what makes me, guys
want her in that way
She got lost in the clouds by plane
above the sky of Valledupar
she left me crying for her love
tomorrow I'll go look for her
But if she doesn't want to look at me
I'll take my path and leave
Tomorrow I'll go look for her
and if I don't find her
I'll head to the border
close to Belén de Pará
Because being Brazilian like her
she could have gone there
and being Brazilian like her
she could have gone there
In the waters of the Orinoco
and in the waters of the Amazon
they will tell you that Escalona was around
more desperate than a madman
Because my love is more stormy
than the waters of the Amazon
It hurt me that she left
but she made me understand
that a woman's eyes
tell when she truly wants
And like the one who stays, stays
Rafael was left sad
Don't be surprised then, Brazilian woman
if one day you see me there
you find me at the border
close to Belén de Pará
And maybe I'll stay with her
or I'll bring her here
I have a pain in my soul
I have a deep sorrow
like in the novel Canaima
it was a love adventure
And it hasn't cost her anything
and it cost me my heart
