O rei da brincadeira (ê, José)
O rei da confusão (ê, João)
Um trabalhava na feira (ê, José)
Outro na construção (ê, João)

A semana passada, no fim da semana
João resolveu não brigar
No domingo de tarde saiu apressado
E não foi pra Ribeira jogar capoeira
Não foi pra lá, pra Ribeira, foi namorar

O José como sempre no fim da semana
Guardou a barraca e sumiu
Foi fazer no domingo um passeio no parque
Lá perto da Boca do Rio
Foi no parque que ele avistou Juliana
Foi que ele viu
Foi que ele viu Juliana na roda com João
Uma rosa e um sorvete na mão
Juliana seu sonho, uma ilusão
Juliana e o amigo João
O espinho da rosa feriu Zé
E o sorvete gelou seu coração

O sorvete e a rosa (ô, José)
A rosa e o sorvete (ô, José)
Foi dançando no peito (ô, José)
Do José brincalhão (ô, José)

O sorvete e a rosa (ô, José)
A rosa e o sorvete (ô, José)
Oi, girando na mente (ô, José)
Do José brincalhão (ô, José)

Juliana girando (oi, girando)
Oi, na roda gigante (oi, girando)
Oi, na roda gigante (oi, girando)
O amigo João (João)
O sorvete é morango (é vermelho)
Oi girando e a rosa (é vermelha)
Oi, girando, girando (é vermelha)
Oi, girando, girando, olha a faca! (Olha a faca!)

Olha o sangue na mão (ê, José)
Juliana no chão (ê, José)
Outro corpo caído (ê, José)
Seu amigo João (ê, José)
Amanhã não tem feira (ê, José)
Não tem mais construção (ê, João)
Não tem mais brincadeira (ê, José)
Não tem mais confusão (ê, João)

    This song is by Gilberto Gil, with Os Mutantes serving as a backing band. It's a pretty dark song, here's a very good translation of lyrics that I found.

    Sunday in the Park

    The king of fooling around—eh, José The king of confusion—eh, João One worked at the market—eh, José The other in construction—eh, João

    Last week, on the weekend João decided not to fight On Sunday afternoon he went out hastily And did not go to Ribeira* to play Capoeira He did not go to Ribeira He went out with his girlfriend

    José as always on the weekend Closed up his booth and disappeared He went to take a walk in the park There, near Boca do Rio* It was in the park that he caught sight of Juliana That's what he saw

    Juliana on the Ferris wheel with João A rose and an ice cream in her hand Juliana, his dream, an illusion Juliana and his friend João The rose's thorn stuck Zé And the ice cream froze his heart

    The ice cream and the rose—oh, José The rose and the ice cream—oh, José Hey, dancing in the breast—oh, José Of José the jokester—oh, José

    The ice cream and the rose—oh, José The rose and the ice cream—oh, José Hey, spinning in the mind—oh, José Of José the jokester—oh, José

    Juliana spinning—hey, spinning Hey, on the giant wheel—hey, spinning Hey, on the giant wheel—hey, spinning The friend João—hey, João

    The ice cream is strawberry— it is red Hey, spinning, and the rose—it is red Hey, spinning, spinning—it is red Hey, spinning, spinning—look at the knife

    See the blood on the hand—eh, José Juliana on the ground—eh, José Another body has fallen—eh, José His friend João—eh, José

    Tomorrow there will not be a market —eh, José There is no more construction—eh, João There is no more fooling around —eh, José There is no more confusion— eh, João

    *Both are neighborhoods of Salvador, Bahia

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
