help for translation "Balança Pema"
Night
Hi
I'm looking for a translation for "Balança Pema"
First we think it was balança perna (legs)
but for pema we did not find the good word
Someone told me that it was an expression
that mean "balnance your body" or "Dance"
Thanks for the help

If you put a "B" in the middle of Pema. The sentence is going to gain a
nasty meaning. I am wondering if this isn't the right one.

BALANÇA PEMA
(Jorje Benjor)
Balança a pema
Balança sem parar
Arrasta as sandálias
Arrasta até gastar
Pois quando você sambalança
Sambalança meu coração também
Ele sambalança certinho
Juntinho com o seu vai e vem
Balança a pema
Balança sem parar
Arrasta as sandálias
Arrasta até gastar
Se vocé jurar
Me ensinar sambalançar assim
Eu lhe darei uma sandália de prata
Pra vocé sambalançar só prá mim.
Bye Louis

Perhaps in the dictionary you are using... <g> The Aurelio -- what
would we be without an Aurelio? -- lists that word. Pema is a short
form of camuripema, which is a variant of camuripim or camurupim, from
Tupi. It's a large fish (reaching 2 m in length) of the family of
Tarpon atlanticus.

mention the word. Anyway, "shake the fish" would be the translation Egidio?
I wouldn't discard the possibility, if I know Jorge Benjor...

Your guess is as good as mine. Carlos (brastran)?
To this day I'm still waiting for an explanation from Jorge Ben to some
of his lines in "Mas Que Nada." For example, what does he mean by
"samba de preto tu." Was it just a syllable that was repeated to make
up for the music metric? I've heard several explanations, but none
convincing.

person. Anyway, I bet "Preto" tu is just to make a rime with maracatu.
Benjor's poetry is a joke. However he is very rythymic and uses the words
mostly for that purpose.

Jorge Benjor had an amazing start. Specially because he has a lot of swing
and was a good acoustic guitar player. When he decided to change the
acoustic guitar by the electric his entire style changed. IMHO, for worse.

Luiz, I know you are you and Carlos is Carlos. My poor attempt -- seems
to have missed you -- was to pose your question to Carlos, the
professional translator of the group. I hope this clarifies what I had
intended to say. You asked me whether the translation was "shake the
fish." I answered your guess was as good as mine. Then I passed the
question on to Carlos by writing "Carlos (brastran)?" Desculpa a
confusão.
Your explanation about "preto tu" is exactly what I also think. It was
just another syllable. Had it been a Chico Buarque song, he could have
and would have used a 3-syllable word to rhyme with "maracatu," I'm sure.

Hi,
According to a "carioca" I met, "pema" was an old slang for sandals.

That should be awfully old slang though. I am not that young anymore and I
never in my existence heard of anyone in Rio calling sandals as "pema".
Anyway, it is still don't make any sense. "Shake your sandals"? maybe it
would mean, "to dance"?

Well, you have the information second-hand, so it's hard for you to believe
someone you'd never met before (me, in this case.) Anyways, that guy claimed
he knew *all* the slang used in Bezerra da Silva's songs, due to his past
among the people in the favelas.
If you still think this is strange, how about "catatau" for message?
> Anyway, it is still don't make any sense. "Shake your sandals"? maybe it

I guess that would be the spirit, wouldn't it? That's exactly what Jorge Ben
sings on the second verse "Arrasta a sandália/arrasta até gastar."
Bruno

that one.
B.T.W. "Catatau" is great. Do you know why they use it?
Thanks,
Luiz

Shake the sandals is more realistic for that song
than Shake the fish :-)
Even if That Jorge look special with the way he writes (or wrote)
In french we have a lot of those old slangs
If you have more anwsers do not stop to write
Thanks for that help

Beats me. The whole song is a hell for the translators:
----------------
Passa o rodo nele foi um catatau que chegou do xadrez (2x)
É que esse patife vendeu os irmãos e por esse motivo é a bola da vez
Foi farinha do mesmo saco e com a malandragem sempre conviveu
Hoje está de judaria e cuspindo também no prato que comeu. (2x)
Passa o rodo...
E lá na minha bocada sumiu com o produto da rapaziada
E na prestação de contas deu aquele banho no cabeça de área
Agora o bambu quebrou no meio, preste bem atenção em tudo que falo:
Detonador não é firmeza, e não é bem chegado no Morro do Galo (2x)
Passa o rodo...
(repeat lyric)

Anyone up to the job? ;-) I gave up trying to translate this to a Portuguese
friend...

Internet access in their cells. They will be the right people to translate
