Lyrics of Favela - Maysa

Favela (original)

No Carnaval
Me lembro tanto da favela
Onde ela morava
Tudo que eu tinha
Era uma esteira e uma panela
E ela gostava
Por isso eu ando
Pelas ruas da cidade
Vendo que a felicidade
Foi aquilo que passou
E a favela
Que era minha e que era dela
Só deixou muita saudade
Porque o resto ela levou
Inda outro dia
Eu fui lá cima na favela
E ela não, não estava
Onde era a casa
Eu encontrei uma chinela
Que ela, ôh!
Sambava
Por isso eu ando
Pelas ruas da cidade
Vendo que a felicidade
Foi aquilo que passou
E a favela
Que era minha e que era dela
Só deixou muita saudade
Porque o resto ela levou

(translation)

At Carnaval
I remember so much about the favela
where did she live
Everything I had
It was a mat and a pan
And she liked
That's why I walk
Through the streets of the city
Seeing that happiness
That's what happened
And the favela
That it was mine and that it was hers
I just missed you so much
Because the rest she took
go another day
I went up there in the favela
And she was not
where was the house
I found a slipper
That she, oh!
sambava
That's why I walk
Through the streets of the city
Seeing that happiness
That's what happened
And the favela
That it was mine and that it was hers
I just missed you so much
Because the rest she took
