Letra da Semana

TREME
(John Boutté)

Hangin´ in the Treme
Curtindo no Treme
Watching people sashay
Vendo as pessoas passeando
Past my steps
Pelos degraus da minha casa
By my porch
Pela minha varanda
In front of my door
Defronte minha porta

Church bells are ringin´
Os sinos da igreja dobrando
Choirs are singing
Corais cantando
While the preachers groan
Enquanto os pastores gemem 
And the sisters moan
E as irmãs lamentam
In a blessed tone
Num tom abençoado

Down in the Treme
Lá no Treme
Just me and my baby
Só eu e minha garota
We´re all going crazy
Estamos todos ficando doidos
Buck jumping* and having fun
Dançando e nos divertindo

Trumpet bells ringing
Trombetas soando
Bass drum is swinging
Surdo suingando
As the trombone groans
Enquanto o trombone ruge
And the big horn moans
E o metalzão geme
There´s a saxophone
Olha o saxofone

Down in the Treme
Just me and my baby
We´re all going crazy
Buck jumping and having fun

Hangin´ in the Treme
Watching people sashay
Past my steps
By my porch
In front of my door

Church bells are ringing
Choirs are singing
While the prachers groan
And the sisters moan
In a blessed tone

Down in the Treme
Just me and my baby
We´re all going crazy
Buck jumping* and having fun.


* Buck jumping é um passo de dança comum em Nova Orleans, como demonstrado no vídeo abaixo. (NdT)
