Sambista Perfeito
Arlindo Cruz
Perfect Samba Player
The perfect samba player should be born with the light of Candeia
That livened up the yard on rainy nights or full moon
And still be brave without throwing punches, headbutts, or trips
But fight for art, the best part of Geraldo Pereira
Elegant like Paulinho
Captivating like Martinho
Being a trickster and contagious
Like Zeca Pagodinho
Orpheus intuitive, lord and captive in the arts of love
An adventurous life and in the pocket the worker's wallet
A very well-scented handkerchief
The chrome shoe well polished
The complete samba player should be the grandson of the old samba masters
Open mind in a closed body
Against plagiarism, tolls, and contraband
The perfect samba player should be made in the image of samba
The perfect samba player should be born with the light of Candeia

Lalalalalalalalaiala
Lalalalalalalalaiala
The perfect samba player should be made in the image of samba
Lalalalalalalalaiala
Lalalalalalalalaiala
The perfect samba player should be made in the image of samba
Like the old Ataulfo, being the string and the dumpster
The perfect samba player should be made in the image of samba
Of samba
Of samba
Of samba
Of samba
