1971 - A LITTLE MORE BLUE

Música y letra: Caetano Veloso
© 1971 Ed. Gapa/Saturno


One day I had to leave my country, calm beach and palm tree…
That day I couldn't even cry
And I forgot that outside there would be other men
But today, but today, but today, I don't know why
I feel a little more blue than then

The day Carmen Miranda died
They put a photograph in the magazine
Her dead mouth with red lipstick smiled
And people cried, I was about ten
But today, but today, but today, I don't know why
I feel a little more blue than then

One morning they came around to take me to jail
I smiled at them and said - all right
But alone in that same night I cried and cried again
But today, but today, but today, I don't know why
I feel a little more blue than then

One night I saw a Mexican film
These twin brothers tried to kill each other
But Libertad Lamarque, who was the mother
Suddenly appeared between them
She opened her arms and got two bullets
And died sweetly without a sigh
But tonight, but tonight, but tonight, I don't know why
I feel a little more blue than then

One day I went down to the underground
But I missed the last train
And now that I'm just looking around
I feel a little more blue than then
Look around, look around, look around, I don't know why
I feel a little more blue than then
