Alegria

Joy to sing the batucada,Alegria pra cantar a batucada,
The brunettes will samba,As morenas vão sambar,
Who sambas has joy,Quem samba tem alegria,
My people were sad, bitter,Minha gente era triste, amargurada,
Invented the batucada,Inventou a batucada,
To stop suffering,Pra deixar de padecer,
Hail pleasure, hail pleasure.Salve o prazer, salve o prazer.

I don't want to know about sadness,Da tristeza não quero saber,
Sadness makes me suffer,A tristeza me faz padecer,
I will leave the cruel nostalgia,Vou deixar a cruel nostalgia,
I will make batucada,Vou fazer batucada,
At night, and during the day I will sing.De noite, e de dia vou cantar.

Joy to sing the batucada,Alegria pra cantar a batucada,
The brunettes will samba,As morenas vão sambar,
Who sambas has joy,Quem samba tem alegria,
My people were sad, bitter,Minha gente era triste, amargurada,
Invented the batucada,Inventou a batucada,
To stop suffering,Pra deixar de padecer,
Hail pleasure, hail pleasure.Salve o prazer, salve o prazer.

Waiting for happiness,Esperando a felicidade,
To see if I will improve,Para ver se eu vou melhorar,
I will sing, pretending joy,Vou cantando, fingindo alegria,
For humanity,Pa a humanidade,
Not to see me cry.Não me ver chorar.

Joy to sing the batucada,Alegria pra cantar a batucada,
The brunettes will samba,As morenas vão sambar,
Who sambas has joy,Quem samba tem alegria,
My people were sad, bitter,Minha gente era triste, amargurada,
Invented the batucada,Inventou a batucada,
To stop suffering,Pra deixar de padecer,
Hail pleasure, hail pleasure.Salve o prazer, salve o prazer.
