Conexão Amazônica Lyrics in English Legião Urbana
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Conexão Amazônica by Legião Urbana from Portuguese to English.
Estou cansado de ouvir falar
I'm tired of hearing about
Em Freud, Jung, Angels, Leonard
About Freud, Jung, Engels, Leonard
Intrigas intelectuais
Intellectual squabbles
Rodando em mesa de bar
Happening at a bar table
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
O que eu quero eu não tenho
What I want I don't have
O que eu não tenho eu quero ter
What I don't have I want to have
Não posso ter o que eu quero
I can't have what I want
E acho que isso não tem nada a ver
And I think that has nothing to do with it
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Os tambores da selva já começaram a rufar
The jungle drums have already started to beat
Os tambores da selva já começaram a rufar
The jungle drums have already started to beat
A cocaína não vai chegar
The cocaine won't arrive
A cocaína não vai chegar
The cocaine won't arrive
Conexão amazônica está interrompida
The Amazonian connection is interrupted
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
E você quer ficar maluco sem dinheiro e acha que está tudo bem
And you want to go crazy without money and think everything's fine
Mas alimento pra cabeça nunca vai matar a fome de ninguém
But food for the mind will never kill anyone's hunger
Uma peregrinação involuntária talvez fosse a solução
An involuntary pilgrimage might be the solution
Auto exílio nada mais é do que ter seu coração na solidão
Self-exile is nothing more than having your heart in loneliness
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Estou cansado de ouvir falar
I'm tired of hearing about
Em Freud, Jung, Angels, Leonard
About Freud, Jung, Engels, Leonard
Intrigas intelectuais
Intellectual squabbles
Rodando em mesa de bar
Happening at a bar table
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Did you like this lyrics translation?
rufardes — to rumble / to beat (drums)
Rufar means to rumble or to beat, specifically referring to drums. It's a less common verb that evokes a very specific sound and image.
In "Conexão Amazônica," the line "Os tambores da selva já começaram a rufar" (The jungle drums have already started to rumble) uses this word to create a vivid, almost primal atmosphere, signaling a shift or an impending event. It's a powerful and evocative word that stands out in the lyrics.
