A Scene from Slick Hare - Carmen Miranda

Описание: This is the scene from Slick Hare where a cartoonish Carmen Miranda sings a song in Portuguese.

Thanx to Doni Sacramento for translating the song for me! You are awesome!!

(Original / Portuguese):
Longe das praias de Copacabana, aqui na terra do famoso Tio Sam, ninguém sabia o que era uma baiana, reluzindo seus pinguês, seus balangandãs. Um belo dia apareceu uma brasileira cantando samba à sua África maneira. E quando o público ouviu "Mamãe Eu Quero" ficou logo apaixonado e eu vou dizer porquê. Todos faziam "fiu! fiu!" e ela disse "Alô, alô!". Agora estamos a fritar tanta tarraxa, embolada, batucada e a vida derreteu!

(English)
Far away from Copacabana beaches, here in famous Uncle Sam's land, no one knew what a bahiana was, with her glittering trinkets and baubles. On a beautiful day, a Brazilian lady showed up singing samba in her own African way. The moment the audience listened to her sing "Mamãe Eu Quero" (Mom, That's What I Want), they all fell in love for her, and I tell you why. Everyone would whistle at her. Then she said "Alô, Alô!" (Hello, hello!). Now we all are "frying" lots of "tarraxa", "embolada", "batucada" and life has melted away!

(Notes: "Mamãe Eu Quero" and "Alô, Alô!" are names of hits Carmen Miranda used to sing in America. "Tarraxa, embolada, batucada" are typical Brazilian hot samba rhythms that Carmen Miranda and Bando da Lua (her band) brought along with them to the U.S.)

I take the opportunity to invite you to visit Carmen Miranda's website which I've entirely created in tribute to her, at www.carmen.miranda.nom.br
