Retalhos de Cetim

I rehearsed my samba all year long
Bought a surdo and tambourine
Spent everything on costumes
It was all I wanted
And she swore to parade for me
My school looked so beautiful
It was everything I wanted to see
In satin patches
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
