Samba da Bencao (Samba of the Blessing)(original) |
E melhor ser alegre que ser triste |
Alegria e a melhor coisa que existe |
E assim como a luz no coracao |
Mas pra fazer um samba com beleza |
E preciso um bocado de tristeza |
Senao nao se faz um samba nao |
Fazer samba nao e contar piada |
E quem faz samba assim nao e de nada |
O bom samba e uma forma de oracao |
Porque o samba e a tristeza que balanca |
E a tristeza tem sempre uma esperanca |
De um dia nao ser mais triste nao |
Poe um pouco de amor numa cadencia |
E vai ver que ninguem no mundo vence |
A beleza que tem um samba nao |
Porque o samba nasceu la na Bahia |
E se hoje ele e branco na poesia |
Ele e negro demais no coracao |
Samba Of The Blessing |
It’s better to be happy than sad |
Happiness is the best thing there is It is like a light in the heart |
But to make a samba with beauty |
It’s needed a bit of sadness |
If not the samba can’t be made |
To make a samba is not like telling a joke |
And who makes samba like this is worth nothing |
The good samba is a kind of prayer |
Because samba is the sadness that sways |
And sadness is always hopeful |
Of one day not being sad any more |
Put a little love in the cadence |
And you’ll see that in this world nobody wins |
The beauty that a samba have |
Because samba was born in Bahia |
And if today it is white in it’s poetry |
It is very black in it’s heart. |
(translation) |
It is better to be happy than to be sad |
Happiness is the best thing that exists |
It's just like the light in the heart |
But to make a samba with beauty |
I need a bit of sadness |
Otherwise, a samba is not made |
Making samba is not telling a joke |
And who makes samba like that is nothing |
The good samba is a form of prayer |
Because samba is the sadness that shakes |
And sadness always has hope |
Of one day I won't be sad anymore |
Put a little love in a cadence |
And you will see that no one in the world wins |
The beauty that has a samba does not |
Because samba was born in Bahia |
What if today he is white in poetry |
He is too black at heart |
Samba Of The Blessing |
