A Little More Blue – Caetano Veloso – letras

in Caetano Veloso (1971)One day I had to leave my country, calm beach and palm tree…That day I couldn’t even cryAnd I forgot that outside there would be other menBut today, but today, but today, I don’t know whyI feel a little more blue than thenThe day Carmen Miranda diedThey put a photograph in the magazineHer dead mouth with red lipstick smiledAnd people cried, I was about tenBut today, but today, but today, I don’t know whyI feel a little more blue than then…One morning they came around to take to jailI smiled at them and said – all rightBut alone in that same day’s nigth I cried and cried againBut today, but today, but today, I don’t know whyI feel a little more blue than then…One night I saw a Mexican filmThese twin brothers tryed to kill each otherShe opened her arms and got two bulletsAnd died sweetly without a sighBut tonight, but tonight, but tonight, I don’t know whyI feel a little more blue than thenOne day I went down to the underground butI missed the last trainAnd now that I’m just looking aroundI feel a little more blue than thenLooking around…I don’t know whyI feel a little more blue than then…
