Desde Que o Samba É Samba
Caetano Veloso
Since Samba Is Samba
Sadness is the lady
Since samba is samba, that's how it is
The clear tear on the dark skin
The night, the rain falling outside
Loneliness terrifies
Everything taking so long to be so bad
But something happens
Right now in me
Singing, I send the sadness away
Samba is yet to be born
Samba has not arrived yet
Samba will not die
Look, the day has not dawned yet
Samba is the father of pleasure
Samba is the son of pain
The great transforming power
