Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Ensaiei meu samba o ano inteiro,

I rehearsed my samba the whole year,

Comprei surdo e tamborim.

I bought a surdo and tamborim.

Gastei tudo em fantasia,

I spent everything on costumes,

Era tudo o que eu queria.

It was all I wanted.

E ela jurou desfilar pra mim,

And she swore to parade for me,

A Mangueira (Minha escola) estava tão bonita.

Mangueira (My school) looked so beautiful.

Era tudo o que eu queria ver,

It was everything I wanted to see,

Em retalhos de cetim.

In scraps of satin.

Eu dormi o ano inteiro,

I slept the whole year,

E ela jurou desfilar pra mim.

And she swore to parade for me.

Mas chegou o carnaval,

But carnival arrived,

E ela não desfilou,

And she didn't parade,

Eu chorei na avenida, eu chorei.

I cried on the avenue, I cried.

Não pensei que mentia a cabrocha,que eu tanto amei.

I didn't think the cabrocha lied, whom I loved so much.
