Translated lyrics
Translation: Dorit Rosman and Michael Sherman (from <a href=http://stat.tamu.edu/~sherman/KEOS/lyrics/ eretzyafa.htm l>http://stat.tamu.e du/~sherman/KEOS/lyrics/eretzyafa.html</a> I live in a beautiful tropical land the sun caresses your face and a sea as far as you can see Every year there's a carnival I've a great guitar and a love called Theresa Although I am just a poor wanderer in my own house I'm the boss, the law, the king and my shirt is a flag, love, carnival, and soccer (original is Pais Tropical in Portuguesse by Jorge Ben)
