Retalhos de Cetim
Ensaiei meu samba o ano inteiro,
Comprei surdo e tamborim.
Gastei tudo em fantasia,
Era tudo o que eu queria.
E ela jurou desfilar pra mim,
A Mangueira (Minha escola) estava tão bonita.
Era tudo o que eu queria ver,
Em retalhos de cetim.
Eu dormi o ano inteiro,
E ela jurou desfilar pra mim.
Mas chegou o carnaval,
E ela não desfilou,
Eu chorei na avenida, eu chorei.
Não pensei que mentia a cabrocha,que eu tanto amei.
Satin Scraps
I rehearsed my samba all year long,
Bought a surdo and tamborim.
Spent everything on costumes,
It was all I wanted.
And she swore to parade for me,
The Mangueira (My school) looked so beautiful.
It was all I wanted to see,
In satin scraps.
I slept the whole year,
And she swore to parade for me.
But carnival arrived,
And she didn't parade,
I cried on the avenue, I cried.
I didn't think the cabrocha, whom I loved so much, was lying.
