English Translation

Ensaiei meu samba o ano inteiro

I rehearsed my samba the whole year

Comprei surdo e tamborim

I bought surdo and tamborim

Gastei tudo em fantasia

I spent everything on fantasy

Era só o que eu queria

It was all I wanted

E ela jurou desfilar pra mim

And she swore to parade for me


Minha escola estava tão bonita

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 came

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 girl, whom I loved so much, lied


Minha escola estava tão bonita

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 came

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 girl, whom I loved so much, lied


Mas chegou o Carnaval

But Carnival came

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 girl, whom I loved so much, lied


Mas chegou o Carnaval

But Carnival came

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 girl, whom I loved so much, lied


Mas chegou o Carnaval

But Carnival came

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 girl, whom I loved so much, lied
