When I arrived in New YorkCuando llegué a Nueva York
The immigration officer asked meEl oficial de inmigración me preguntó
Where have you been Mr. BimDónde has estado, Sr. Bim
Where have you been, JoeDónde has estado, Joe
You've been abroad for too long Mr. BimHas estado en el extranjero por mucho tiempo, Sr. Bim
Haven't you been?¿No es así?
I got to the Hotel exhausted to my roomLlegué exhausto al Hotel a mi habitación
Having to attend a cocktailTeniendo que asistir a un cóctel
Late that afternoonTarde esa tarde
And there my boss NesuhiY allí mi jefe Nesuhi
An old friend of Jobim's said:Un viejo amigo de Jobim dijo:
May introduce you to Gloria?¿Te puedo presentar a Gloria?
By all meansPor supuesto
Buy all jeansCompra todos los jeans
I've never been in Paris for the summerNunca he estado en París en verano
I've never drank a Scotch with this bouquetNunca he tomado un Scotch con este bouquet
My life is such a mess let's have a BrahmaMi vida es un desastre, tomemos una Brahma
I'm happy that you called,Estoy feliz de que hayas llamado,
I really feel touchéRealmente me siento tocado
Oh, it's been a long, a very long timeOh, ha pasado mucho, mucho tiempo
Since a Brazilian has been in Paris com vocêDesde que un brasileño ha estado en París contigo
You look so cute there wearing my pajamasTe ves tan lindo ahí usando mis pijamas
You look so sexy with my pince-nezTe ves tan sexy con mis anteojos
Let's hijack this Concord to the BahamasVamos a secuestrar este Concorde a las Bahamas
Come on dress up my loveVamos, vístete mi amor
Let's go to the balletVamos al ballet
Oh, it's been a long, a very long timeOh, ha pasado mucho, mucho tiempo
Since a Brazilian has danced with youDesde que un brasileño ha bailado contigo
Le pas-de-deuxLe pas-de-deux
