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
