In the Meantime in Pernambuco Lyrics
Sometime when you have to take the hardest way
That don't mean that your star is leading you astray
Forget fashion symposium, yo, get panoramic
All I got to say, my friend, stay aerodynamic
All I got to say, my friend, stay aerodynamic
Oh, my spirit guides, lurking in the window
Never did I fit the frame invented by the gringo
Oh, my spirit guides, store up on provisions
Oh, expect nothing more or less but critical condition
Oh, expect nothing more or less but critical condition
Because in the meantime in Pernambuco
Cachaça льётÑÑ
Yeah, Cachaça a-clandestina
Yeah, Cachaça da cigana
Da da da . . .
Russo Frevo!
Da da da . . .
Cachaça da cigana
Once we're there, the locals ask
"Amigo, who sent you?"
Paranoia, violence is always on the menu
But once the hospitality will dissolve the fear
Nothing but good kind of trouble
There is left to steer
Whoa, my spirit guide, lurking in the window
Never did I fit the frame invented by the gringo
Oh, my spirit guide, store up on provisions
Oh, expect nothing more or less but critical condition
Oh, expect nothing more or less but critical condition
Because in the meantime in Pernambuco
Cachaça льётÑÑ
Yeah, Cachaça a-clandestina
Yeah, Cachaça da cigana
Frevo, Frevo, Frevo, Frevo
Frevo, Frevo, Frevo, Frevo
Russo Frevo
Cachaça da cigana!
That don't mean that your star is leading you astray
Forget fashion symposium, yo, get panoramic
All I got to say, my friend, stay aerodynamic
All I got to say, my friend, stay aerodynamic
Never did I fit the frame invented by the gringo
Oh, my spirit guides, store up on provisions
Oh, expect nothing more or less but critical condition
Oh, expect nothing more or less but critical condition
Cachaça льётÑÑ
Yeah, Cachaça a-clandestina
Yeah, Cachaça da cigana

Obviously written at the time Eugene spent in Pernambuco, Brazil. Has some parts in portuguese:
"Never did I fit the frame invented by the gringo" - gringo is a slang for foreigner in Brazil too, specially for USA/Europe foreigners.
"Cachaça a-clandestina" Illegal Cachaça (cachaça is a very strong alcoholic drink, made from sugar cane)
"Yeah, Cachaça da cigana" Yeah, Gypsy's cachaça!
"Russo Frevo!" Russian Frevo - Frevo is a folk dance in Pernambuco, Brazil. Is very curious, it is danced with a multicolored umbrella. It is very similar to the drums we hear in this part.
"Amigo, who sent you?" amigo = friend
Not much to say about the song's meaning, it's Eugene experience with Pernambuco's scenario and music.
