Miscellaneous
The Brazilian
I met her one morning
I met her one morning
she arrived by plane to my land
and when they introduced her to me
she told me she was Brazilian
oh she surely crossed the border
so she came to get into my soul (bis)
Love has no borders
it's a very pleasant feeling
and that explains why a vallenato
makes a Brazilian fall in love
and that's what forces me boy
to love her that way (bis)
The plane got lost in the cloud
over the sky in Valledupar
her love left me crying
tomorrow I'm going to look for her
but if she doesn't love me look
I take my marble and I'm leaving (bis)
Tomorrow I'm going to look for it
and if I don't find it
I'll take it to the border near Belém from Pará
because since she is Brazilian
she could have gone there
and since she is Brazilian
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
more desperate than a madman
because my love is more stormy
that the waters of the Amazon (bis)
It hurt me when she left
but she made me understand
that a woman's eyes
say when she wants to, you will see
And as he who stays stays
Rafael (bis) was sad.
Don't be surprised because I'm Brazilian
Yes, someday I'll see you there
that you find me at the border
near Belén de Para
And that maybe I will stay with her
or I will bring her here (bis)
I have a pain in my soul
I have a deep pain
like in the Canmaina novel
it was a love adventure
and it didn't cost her anything
and it cost me my heart (bis)
