Joana Francesa [English translation]

You laugh, you lie a lot

You cry, you die too

You have the tropics

In the blood and on the skin

Moan of madness and of torpor

It's already dawn

Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up

Kill me laughing

Tell me about love

Dreams and lies

I know them well and I know by heart

Moan of pleasure and of fear

It's already dawn

Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up

Come and wet my neck

I will comfort you

Come gentle mulatto

Dance in my arms

Come, boy, tell me

Where is

Your sun, your embers

Who bewitched me

The sea, the tide, the boat

You have the scent

Of the brandy and the sweat

Moan of laziness and heat

It's already dawn

Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
