| A Buh era uma menina que andava toda desengonçada, com nariz escorrendo, | Once, Buh was a girl, all limbs akimbo, nose gleaming with rain, |
| cabelo todo pra cima | hair bristling skyward like wild grass after thunder, |
| Daí colocaram o apelido dela de Buh, porque sempre quando ela chegava ela | They called her Buh, for each entrance of hers |
| assustava todo mundo, haha | scattered the flock—she startled souls for sport, laughter trailing in her wake, |
| Só que faz uns cinco ano que eu não vejo a Buh, mano | But friend, five autumns have vanished since Buh last crossed my gaze, |
| Aí ontem tá eu com meus parceiro curtindo na baladinha, chegou uma mina gostosa | Then last night, in the electric hive of a club, reveling with my loyal kin, a woman entered—sunrise sudden— |
| pra caralho e falou: «Oi, Gustta» | and said, burning with allure: “Hi, Gustta.” |
| Eu falei: «Oi» | I answered, the syllable trembling, “Hi.” |
| E ela: «Sou eu, a Buh» | And she: “It’s me, Buh.” |
| Não é possível | Surely the world has not turned so sly— |
| Aí eu tive que falar assim pra ela, ó | And so, what words could I summon for her, but these: |
| Eita Buh, cê tá bonita | Ah, Buh, you are a blossom in full flame, |
| Eita Buh, cê tá gostosa | Ah, Buh, your beauty stings like honey on the tongue, |
| Eita Buh, cê tá cheirosa | Ah, Buh, you carry the scent of trembling orchards, |
| Buh, cê tá maravilhosa | Buh, you are a marvel at the world’s heart. |
| Eita Buh, cê tá bonita | Ah, Buh, you are a blossom in full flame, |
| Eita Buh, cê tá gostosa | Ah, Buh, your beauty stings like honey on the tongue, |
| Eita Buh, cê tá cheirosa | Ah, Buh, you carry the scent of trembling orchards, |
| Buh, cê tá maravilhosa | Buh, you are a marvel at the world’s heart. |
| Hoje a Buh tá bonita | Today Buh is radiant, dawn in her hair, |
| Hoje a Buh tá malvada | Today Buh is wild, a storm in velvet, |
| Depois que ficou grandinha | Since she grew tall as summer grass, |
| A Buhzinha tá tarada | Little Buh has become a fever, a secret fire, |
| Hoje a Buh tá bonita | Today Buh is radiant, dawn in her hair, |
| Hoje a Buh tá tarada | Today Buh is a fever, a wild wind in silk, |
| Depois que ficou grandinha | Since she grew tall as summer grass, |
| Ela ficou mais safada | She has turned more daring—untamed by the moon. |
| Taca, taca, taca a bunda | Taca, taca, taca—hips drum thunder on the floor, |
| Taca, taca, taca a raba | Taca, taca, taca—the river of her waist uncoils, |
| Taca, taca, taca a bunda | Taca, taca, taca—hips drum thunder on the floor, |
| Taca, taca, taca a raba | Taca, taca, taca—the river of her waist uncoils, |
| Taca, taca, taca a bunda | Taca, taca, taca—hips drum thunder on the floor, |
| Taca, taca, taca a raba | Taca, taca, taca—the river of her waist uncoils, |
| Buh, cê tá grande, hein? | Buh, you have grown—how vast you are now, |
| Pode vim em mim | Come, let your wildness find its echo in me, |
| Buh, cê tá grande, hein? | Buh, you have grown—how vast you are now, |
| Pode vim em mim | Come, let your wildness find its echo in me, |
| Vem que hoje eu tô facin' | Come, tonight my heart’s a field—unguarded, |
| Hoje eu tô molequin' | Tonight I am childlike—barefoot, astonished, |
| Buh, cê tá grande, hein? | Buh, you have grown—how vast you are now, |
| Pode vim em mim | Come, let your wildness find its echo in me, |
| A Buh era uma menina que andava toda desengonçada | Once, Buh was a girl, all limbs akimbo, |
| Não é possível | Surely the world has not turned so sly— |
