Carmen Miranda Does “Cai, Cai” in THAT NIGHT IN RIO
The more I see Carmen Miranda, the more I find her one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. In this clip from Fox’s 1941 musical comedy That Night in Rio, Miranda sings and shakes to the rhythms of Roberto Martins‘ "Cai, Cai."
Now, what the heck is she singing?
Cai, cai, cai, cai
Eu não vou te levantar
Cai, cai, cai, cai
Quem mandou escorregar?
Fall, fall, fall, fall
I’m not going to help you get up
Fall, fall, fall, fall
Whoever told you to slip?
That’s why songs should usually be left untranslated…
Also in the That Night in Rio cast: Alice Faye, Don Ameche, S.Z. Sakall, J. Carrol Naish, Curt Bois, and the Bando da Lua.
