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.
