Retalhos de Cetim

I rehearsed my samba all year
Bought a floor tom and a tambourine
Spent everything on costumes
It was all I wanted
And she swore to parade for me

My samba school was so beautiful
It was everything 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 she was lying, the brown girl I loved so much

My samba school was so beautiful
It was everything 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 she was lying, the brown girl I loved so much

But carnival arrived
And she didn't parade
I cried on the avenue, I cried
I didn't think she was lying, the brown girl I loved so much

But carnival arrived
And she didn't parade
I cried on the avenue, I cried
I didn't think she was lying, the brown girl I loved so much

But carnival arrived
And she didn't parade
I cried on the avenue, I cried
I didn't think she was lying, the brown girl I loved so much
