i just found out the title probably means 'cinnamon flower', but my little brother used to call this 'the football song'

  • thanks for posting you `ve got a good ear nener knew there was another version

  • cheers for posting the other one, i might have forgotten about this otherwise!

  • In English the song is called "Cinnamon and Clove". Why did your little brother call this song the football song? I'm curious about that.

  • cheers for clearing that up! i think the whistle at the begining sounded kinda sporty to him! plus its brasilian!

  • hey just a correction: the picture you got there is wrong. the version you have uploaded is from the record "milton" (raça) from 1976, which did have herbie hancock on piano, and other guest stars on the album. the cover on your video is from o clube da esquina from 1972, which also had cravo e canela, but in a more psychedelic, non-jazz version. anyway, cheers! cravo e canela means "carnation and cinnamon" in which he asks who spiced the carnation's smell and the cinnamon's color?

  • @pablokaso1 - Venga a Brasile e sia benvenuto!

  • @musicfanBRA sure, it's possible i used the wrong translation, but i meant the same as you did :)! tbm sou brasileiro :)

  • @JoyceJennings Sankyuu!!

  • @rsinatra - "Cravo" in Portuguese also means clover. Here it's "clover and cinnamon", two spices. Cheers.

  • it says "hey, brunette, who spiced? Gypsy girl, who spiced the smell of the clove? hey, brunette, who spiced? Gypsy girl, who spiced the colour of the cinnamon? The moon, brunette the dance of the wind the belly of the night and the sun of the dawn the rain, gypsy girl the dance of the rivers the honey of the cocoa the sun of the dawn" You see... no football... man...... I love this song so much... haha... and people reduce it to football.. haha........ man
