Faceira

It was at a sambaFoi num samba
With cool people, hey, cool peopleDe gente bamba, oi, gente bamba
That I met you, sassyQue te conheci, faceira
Making faces, trippingFazendo visagem, passando rasteira

How nice, how nice, how niceQue bom, que bom, que bom

It was at a sambaFoi num samba
With cool people, hey, cool peopleDe gente bamba, oi, gente bamba
That I met you, sassyQue te conheci, faceira
Making faces, trippingFazendo visagem, passando rasteira

And you came down from the hillE desceste lá do morro
To live here in the cityPra viver aqui na cidade
Leaving your friends sadDeixando os companheiros tristes
Crazy with longingLoucos de saudade

But, beautiful childMas, linda criança
I have faith, I have hopeTenho fé, tenho esperança
That one day, you will returnQue, um dia, hás de voltar
Right back to your placeDireitinho ao seu lugar

It was at a sambaFoi num samba
With cool people, hey, cool peopleDe gente bamba, oi, gente bamba
That I met you, sassyQue te conheci, faceira
Making faces, trippingFazendo visagem, passando rasteira

When the drumming startsQuando rompe a batucada
The crowd gets annoyedFica a turma aborrecida
The tambourine doesn't do anythingO pandeiro não dá nada
The barrel put awayA barrica recolhida

Your companyTua companhia
Makes the drums speakFaz falar a bateria
Enchanting the tambourineEncantando o tamborim
Come to the samba, trust meVem pro samba, vai por mim
