Escurinho / O Samba E O Pandeiro

The dark times were a proper kind of dark
Now it’s got this fighting vibe
Feels like a curse from a godmother
Or some bad luck from a shady girl
That he showed ingratitude to

Just got out of jail, it’s not even been a week
And Zé Pretinho's woman already flipped out
She wrecked the Baiana's stand
'Cause she asked for credit and she didn’t get it!

He’s been to the Morro da Formiga
Looking for trouble
He’s been to the Morro do Macaco
Already messed with a tough guy
He’s been to the Morro do Cabrito
Looking for a fight
He’s been to the Morro do Pinto
To put an end to samba...

I’m heading to the samba, but I won’t forget my pandeiro
It goes, it comes, it comes, it goes with me up front
I’m heading to the samba, but I won’t forget my pandeiro
It goes, it comes, it’s with it that I make the samba hot

Maria, bring me my bag
My leather bag
Maria, bring me my pandeiro
It’s my treasure
