English Translation

Lalaiá, la laiá lalaiá, lalaiá lalaiá, laiálaiá

Lalaiá, la laiá lalaiá, lalaiá lalaiá, laiálaiá

Laiá

Laiá


Vai e diz a ela que não dá

Go and tell her it's not possible

Que à noite a saudade faz chorar

That at night, longing makes me cry

Diz que a fortaleza já desmoronou

Say that the fortress has already crumbled

A certeza virou incerteza

Certainty has turned into uncertainty

A alegria o vento levou

Joy has been carried away by the wind


Diz que as horas custam a passar

Say that the hours are slow to pass

Que está tudo fora de lugar

That everything is out of place

Que o desespero já me visitou

Desperation has already visited me

E o meu pranto de tanto chorar secou

And my weeping, from crying so much, has dried

Que o desespero já me visitou

Desperation has already visited me

E o meu prato e tanto chorar secou

And my plate, from crying so much, has dried


Mas eu vou dar a volta por cima

But I will overcome

A dor muitas vezes ensina

Pain often teaches

Vai, meu samba, pra ela dizer

Go, my samba, and tell her

Que eu sou bom aprendiz

That I am a good apprentice

E ainda posso ser muito feliz

And I can still be very happy
