Samba da Benção

Bebel Gilberto Bebel Gilberto

Samba of Blessing

It's better to be happy
Than to be sad
Joy is the best
Thing that exists
It's like the light
In the heart...

But to make a samba with beauty
It takes a bit of sadness
It takes a bit of sadness
Otherwise, a samba is not made
No!...

Making samba is not
Telling jokes
And those who make samba like that
Are nothing
Good samba is a form
Of prayer...

Because samba is the sadness
That sways
And sadness always has
A hope
Sadness always has
A hope
That one day it won't be sad anymore
No!...

Put a little love
In a rhythm
And you'll see that no one
In the world overcomes
The beauty that a samba has
No!...

Because samba was born
There in Bahia
And if today it's white
In poetry
If today it's white
In poetry
It's too black
In the heart...

It's better to be happy
Than to be sad
Joy is the best
Thing that exists
It's like the light
In the heart...

Put a little love
In a rhythm
And you'll see that no one
In the world overcomes
The beauty that a samba has
No!...

Because samba was born
There in Bahia
And if today it's white
In poetry
If today it's white
In poetry
It's too black
In the heart...
