Song information On this page you can read the lyrics of the song Samba Saravah , by - Karrin Allyson. Song from the album From Paris To Rio, in the genre Samba Saravah(original) |
| Être heureux, c’est plus ou moins ce qu’on cherche |
| J’aime rire, chanter et je n’empêche |
| Pas les gens qui sont bien d'être joyeux |
| Pourtant s’il est une samba sans tristesse |
| C’est un vin qui ne donne pas l’ivresse |
| Un vin qui ne donne pas l’ivresse, non |
| Ce n’est pas la samba que je veux |
| J’en connais que la chanson incommode |
| D’autres pour qui ce n’est rien qu’une mode |
| D’autres qui en profitent sans l’aimer |
| Moi je l’aime et j’ai parcouru le monde |
| En cherchant ses racines vagabondes |
| Aujourd’hui pour trouver les plus profondes |
| C’est la samba-chanson qu’il faut chanter |
| On m’a dit qu’elle venait de Bahia |
| Qu’elle doit son rythme et sa poésie à |
| Des siècles de danse et de douleur |
| Mais quels que soient les sentiments qu’elle exprime |
| Elle est blanche de formes et de rimes |
| Blanche de formes et de rimes |
| Elle est nègre, bien nègre, dans son cœur |
| Mais quelque soit le sentiment qu’elle exprime |
| Elle est blanche de formes et de rimes |
| Blanche de formes et de rimes |
| Elle est nègre, bien nègre, dans son cœur |
| (translation) |
| Being happy is more or less what we're looking for |
| I like to laugh, to sing and I do not prevent |
| Not the people who are good at being happy |
| Yet if there is a samba without sadness |
| It's a wine that doesn't make you drunk |
| A wine that doesn't make you drunk, no |
| It's not the samba that I want |
| I know only the inconvenient song |
| Others for whom it's just a fad |
| Others who enjoy it without loving it |
| I love her and I've traveled the world |
| Searching for her wandering roots |
| Today to find the deepest |
| This is the samba-song to sing |
| I was told she was from Bahia |
| That it owes its rhythm and its poetry to |
| Centuries of dance and pain |
| But whatever feelings she expresses |
| She's white with shapes and rhymes |
| White of shapes and rhymes |
| She's nigger, real nigger, in her heart |
| But whatever sentiment she expresses |
| She's white with shapes and rhymes |
| White of shapes and rhymes |
| She's nigger, real nigger, in her heart |
