Sandália Amarela

I gave her
A pair of sandals
The color of my straw hat
She in a yellow skirt and a lace blouse
And me with a flower in the lapel of my jacket

But if life gets better, I'll marry
If it's with her at the altar to formalize our old affair
And on the way back, I'll make a request to my orixá
Light a candle with all caution
Asking her never to leave me

But if life gets better, I'll change
I'll build a neat little corner
With flowers and all
A house with a living room and a balcony in Jacarepaguá
Me all dressed up in a tuxedo and top hat
Playing the guitar with my feet up
