Nos Braços da Batucada

Night after night without seeing you
My challenge was to live, missing you
Now enough suffering
I did nothing to deserve it, cruelty

It was when a friend reminded me
That the samba can't stop, no
It's not like a love affair that ends
If I lose in the game of love
Samba is my protector, yes
Taking me out of the trauma of pain, of sorrow

I'm tired of waiting for you
I found the pleasure of dreaming
I have no more time to lose
I'm not afraid of anything anymore
How good to see the day break
How good to see the Sun awaken
In the arms of the batucada

I'm tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you
I found the pleasure of dreaming
I have no more time to lose
I'm not afraid of anything anymore
How good to see the day break
How good to see the Sun awaken
In the arms of the batucada

Now enough suffering
I did nothing to deserve it, cruelty

It was when a friend reminded me
That the samba can't stop, no
It's not like a love affair that ends
If I lose in the game of love
Samba is my protector, yes
Taking me out of the trauma of pain, of sorrow

I'm tired of waiting for you
I found the pleasure of dreaming
I have no more time to lose
I'm not afraid of anything anymore
How good to see the day break
How good to see the Sun awaken
In the arms of the batucada

I'm tired of waiting for you
Tired of waiting for you
I found the pleasure of dreaming
I have no more time to lose
I'm not afraid of anything anymore
How good to see the day break
How good to see the Sun awaken
In the arms of the batucada

Lalaiá lalaiá
Laiá lalaiá lalaiá
Laiá lalaiá lalaiá
Laiá lalaiá lalaiá
Laiá lalaiá lalaiá la

How good to see the day break
How good to see the Sun awaken
In the arms of the batucada
