Samba do Grande Amor
Chico Buarque
Samba of the Great Love
I had it in my mind
That now yes
I finally lived the great love
Lie
I threw myself like this
From a springboard
I went all the way as an amateur
I spent a summer
On water and bread
I gave my share to the great love
Lie
I put my hand
In the fire then
With my heart as guarantor
Today I only have a stone in my chest
I demand respect, I am no longer a dreamer
I even change sidewalks
When a flower appears
And I laugh at the great love
Lie
I was very faithful
I bought a ring
I put on paper the great love
Lie
I reserved a hotel
Tripe stew
And honeymoon in Salvador
I went to pray at the Sé
To Saint Joseph
In whom I believed in the great love
Lie
I even made a vow
To Oxumaré
To climb the Redeemer on foot
Today I only have a stone in my chest
I demand respect, I am no longer a dreamer
I even change sidewalks
When a flower appears
And I laugh at the great love
Lie
