Noite dos Mascarados
Chico Buarque
Night of the Masked Ones
- Who are you?
- Guess, if you like me!
Today the two masked ones
Look for their lovers
Asking like this:
- Who are you, tell me quickly...
- I want to know your game...
- I want to die in your block...
- I want to burn in your fire.
- I am a serenader,
Poet and singer.
- All my time
I just mock love.
- I have a pandeiro.
- I just want a guitar.
- I swim in money.
- I don't have a penny.
I was a flag bearer,
I don't know how to dance anymore.
- I, modesty aside,
Was born to samba.
- I am so young...
- My time has passed...
- I am Colombina!
- I am Pierrot!
But it's Carnival!
Don't tell me who you are anymore!
Tomorrow everything goes back to normal.
Let the party end,
Let the boat run.
Let the day break, because today I am
The way you want me.
I'll give you whatever you ask for,
Whoever you are,
Whatever God wants!
Whoever you are,
Whatever God wants!
