Translation of the song lyrics Retalhos de cetim - Alcione

Retalhos de cetim (original)

Ensaiei meu samba o ano inteiro
Comprei surdo e tamborim
Gastei tudo em fantasia
Era tudo o que eu queria
E ela jurou desfilar pra mim
A Mangueira (Minha escola) estava tão bonita
Era tudo o que eu queria ver
Em retalhos de cetim
Eu dormi o ano inteiro
E ela jurou desfilar pra mim
Mas chegou o carnaval
E ela não desfilou
Eu chorei na avenida, eu chorei
Não pensei que mentia a cabrocha, que eu tanto amei

Retalhos de cetim (translation)

I rehearsed my samba all year
I bought deaf and tambourine
I spent it all on fancy
Was all I wanted
And she swore to parade for me
The Mangueira (My school) was so beautiful
It was everything I wanted to see
In satin patchwork
I slept the whole year
And she swore to parade for me
But the carnival has arrived
And she did not parade
I cried on the avenue, I cried
I didn't think I was lying to the bitch, which I loved so much
