Fui ver o cigano Went to see the gypsy, Hospedado num grande hotel Stayin' in a big hotel. Ele sorriu ao me ver chegar He smiled when he saw me coming, E disse “Ora, ora, ora” And he said, "Well, well, well." Seu quarto estava escuro e cheio de gente His room was dark and crowded, As luzes eram baixas e fracas Lights were low and dim. “Como vai? ”, ele me disse How are you?" he said to me, E eu disse pra ele também I said it back to him.
Desci até o saguão I went down to the lobby Fazer uma breve ligação To make a small call out. Uma dançarina bonita estava ali A pretty dancing girl was there, E começou a gritar And she began to shout, “Volte lá pra ver o cigano "Go on back to see the gypsy. Ele pode te tirar do fundo He can move you from the rear, Te arrancar do seu medo Drive you from your fear, Te trazer através do espelho Bring you through the mirror. Ele fez isso em Las Vegas He did it in Las Vegas, E pode fazer aqui” And he can do it here."
Lá fora as luzes brilhavam Outside the lights were shining No rio de lágrimas On the river of tears, Fiquei olhando de longe I watched them from the distance Com música nos ouvidos With music in my ears.
Voltei pra ver o cigano I went back to see the gypsy, Era quase a aurora It was nearly early dawn. A porta do cigano estava escancarada The gypsy's door was open wide Mas o cigano não estava mais But the gypsy was gone, E aquela dançarina bonita And that pretty dancing girl, Não se via mais por lá She could not be found. Então fiquei olhando aquele sol que raiava So I watched that sun come rising Naquela cidadezinha de Minnesota From that little Minnesota town.
