Joe Zawinul plays a Brazilian folk song, with music adapted by the Brazilian composer Villa Lobos, and interpreted by the Portuguese jazz singer Maria João, who is here singing in a Brazilian Portuguese accent. Lyrics by Teca Calazans (brazilian composer and singer).
Caicó
Ó, mana, deixa eu ir (oh sis, let me go)
Ó, mana, eu vou só (oh sis, I’m going alone)
Ó, mana, deixa eu ir (oh sis, let me go)
Para o sertão do Caicó (to the sertão* of Caicó)
Eu vou cantando (I go singing)
Com uma aliança no dedo (with a wedding ring on my finger)
Eu aqui só tenho medo (here I only fear)
Do mestre Zé Mariano (master Zé Mariano)
Mariazinha botou flores na janela (Little Maria put flowers in the window)
Pensando em vestido branco (thinking of a white dress)
Véu e flores na capela (veil and flowers in the chapel)
*The sertão is a semi-arid, interior region of the Brazilian northeast.
