Lyrics:
O Menina [Version (a)]:
O menina
O menina
O menina
O menina
O menina
O menina
O menina
O menina
Torn-out girl on the beach
Black hair black with black lipstick
Throwing daggers with her eyes
Tourist trapped in Ipanema quicksands
Sewage sludge, washed-up conquistador
Le Mort beaten down with two-by-fours
Whitewashed walls of discontent won't repent
Can't handle Candelária favela
Massacres with colored brochures
Death metal plates for Carnivale girls
Send her away when she's sick of the sun
Let the sleet and snow teach her a lesson
O menina
O menina
O menina
O menina
O menina
O menina
O menina
O menina
O menina
O menina
O menina
O menina
O menina
O menina
O menina
O menina
O menina
O menina
O menina
O menina
Torn-out girl on the beach
Black hair black with black lipstick
Throwing daggers with her eyes
Tourist trapped in Ipanema quicksands
Sewage sludge, washed-up conquistador
Le Mort beaten down with two-by-fours
Whitewashed walls of discontent won't repent
Can't handle Candelária favela
Massacres with colored brochures
Death metal plates for Carnivale girls
Send her away when she's sick of the sun
Let the sleet and snow teach her a lesson
O menina
O menina
O menina
O menina
O menina
O menina
O menina
O menina
O menina
O menina
O menina
O menina
The Song:
"O Menina" is a bonus track for The Information.
Probably originally entitled "The Girl From RIP-anema," that song was written about a miserable trip to Brazil. I have made a (probably safe) assumption the song got retitled to this.
"Menina" is Portugese for "girl."
