Garota de Bauru [English translation]

I met a girl in Bauru

She was fifteen and had been fooling around for five years

She was the queen at the main café

With her cuffless miniskirts

Her parents cried

Her brothers threatened her

And she didn't care, she was wonderful

So hot in her vulgarity

Happy with your sincerity

The girl from Bauru

Is not a sandwich

The girl from Bauru

Is not a sad character

She likes to listen to Lulu Santos

And thinks Cazuza is an angel

She never misses a Paralamas1 concert

Then, in the hotel, she gets in some problems

The next day, she gets home

With her make up all smudged

She has breakfast and is beaten-up

Her father calls her a whore

Her mom says she's crazy

And the girl from Bauru

Goes to sleep without feeling guilty

The girl from Bauru

The girl from Bauru

When the bands leave the town

She gets bored and comes back to the old café

She keeps a note with a name

With a name and being recognized a groupie

The girl from Bauru only wants a future (a future)

She wants to be happy in the big world

And for that, she has to be mediocre

She has to be different from a pizza

The little bitch from Bauru

The Janis Joplin of Bauru

She looks so beautiful dressed in pink

Because she'll never wear her wedding dress

And the veil that hides the big war

But she will never get married or have children

Because the girl from Bauru

Will runaway and find your family

The girl from Bauru

The girl from Bauru

The girl from Bauru

Is not a sandwich

The girl from Bauru

The girl from Bauru

Is not a sad character

The girl from Bauru

The girl from Bauru

The girl from Bauru

The girl from Bauru

The girl from Bauru
