Sao Gonca*

Sweetheart
I’d do anything for our love
I’d do anything for our good, my sweetness
Missing you hurts so much
It’s tearing my heart apart
Never doubt that one day
I’ll give you the sky
(my love) and a ring too
So we can get married
With the judge or the church
If that’s what you want
If you don’t, that’s ok, sweetness
But you have to understand
Living in São Gonçalo you know how it is
Major traffic jams on the bridge today
I had to walk
Tried to call you
But the orelhao** on my street
was broken
My card ran out of credit
Believe it if, if that’s what you want

* "Sao Gonca" (or, the city of Sao Goncalo) is across the Bay from Rio de Janeiro (across the Guanabara Bay to be exact). The bridge that Seu Jorge refers to in the last part of song is the Rio-Niteroi Bridge, currently the longest prestressed concrete bridge in the southern hemisphere, and the sixth longest in the world.

** Interesting translation factoid: "orelhao" (aka phone booth) is a very literal translation of "very big ear". It is a particular Brazilian colloquialism with a fascinating history of design and implementation - see here for more.
