I walked around the world looking for a great love

Bee hum-zum-zum

Sniffing honey from the flower

And many women were flowers in my garden

But it was no use You were into me

I loved it in Beijing, in Jerusalem, in Amsterdam

But my couch is your Tupi, Guaraná, Guarani skin

I arrived in Paris

From there I could see all your light

my true cross

I love you and despite being a gypsy

I only think about you

The flower that falls from its branch dies of longing for the root (hey yeh)

My True Cross, my life

Vera Cruz, my life, my love

Ladies and Madonnas

They gave me the hearts

And I, half a pirate, navigated these passions

But your holy light accompanies me wherever I go

I arrived in Baghdad, you were still in me

I loved it in Beijing, in Jerusalem, in Amsterdam

But my couch is your Tupi, Guaraná, Guarani skin

I arrived in Paris I arrived in Paris

From there I could see all your light

my true cross

I love you and despite being a gypsy

I only think about you

Our curumins our butequins

Hail mother Oxum

Hail God Tupã

Chico Mendes, zombie, Sapaim, Raoni

Saci-pererê (Saci-pererê)

Fish with dendê (Fish with dendê)

meat with cornmeal

Aie-ie Nanny

Saravá, anaconda, sarará, cerêre

I loved it in Beijing, in Jerusalem, in Amsterdam

but my divan

cigano — gypsy

Cigano translates to "gypsy" in English. It's an interesting word because it evokes a sense of wanderlust, freedom, and a nomadic lifestyle.

In the song, Jorge Vercillo sings, "Eu te amo e apesar de cigano, Só penso em você" (I love you and despite being a gypsy, I only think of you). He uses "cigano" to highlight a contrast: even though his nature is to roam and experience many loves, his heart is truly devoted to one person. This makes the word memorable and adds a layer of romantic depth to the lyrics.

In "Apesar De Cigano," Jorge Vercillo sings about a worldwide journey in search of love. The narrator compares himself to a bee searching for honey, traveling to far-flung cities like Beijing, Jerusalem, and Paris. He finds romance with many different women, whom he calls "flowers in this garden of mine."

Despite all his travels and love affairs, he realizes that the one true love he's been looking for was always inside him. This love is for his home country, Brazil, which he affectionately calls by its original name, "Minha Vera Cruz." Even with his wandering, "gypsy" lifestyle, his heart belongs to Brazil. He uses the beautiful metaphor, "The flower that falls from its branch dies of longing for the root," to express his deep connection and homesickness for his roots.
