O Samba e a Nossa Cara

Without samba life is sad
Look, I am a seed (I am too)
Link in the chain (I am too)
Look, I am happy to see joy in you
Hail our samba
It has been around for a long time
And now the people know
Without samba life is sad

Look, I am melancholic (I am too)
I am 'partido alto' (I am too)
Look, I am what people like to hear the most
Cavaco and tantan beats, no one can resist
And now the people know
Without samba life is sad
Why in samba
Life is more beautiful
The heart beats quickly
And the daily life of people
Samba that the mind creates
The mouth that sings and the soul that feels

And in samba we stay smiling like this
And in samba we keep resisting
In samba we make friends
In samba we also date
Sadness is put aside
The torment of life outside is forgotten
Samba is what we are born loving
And in samba we will die singing
Samba is this and much more
Passion of many carnivals
Samba is our face
It's the face of the people
It's the face of peace
