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
