Valsinha
Chico Buarque
Little Waltz
One day he arrived so different
From his usual way of arriving
He looked at her in a much warmer way
Than he used to look
And he didn't curse life as much
As was his usual way of speaking
And he didn't leave her alone in a corner
To his great surprise, he invited her to dance
And then she made herself beautiful
As she hadn't dared to do in a long time
With her low-cut dress
Smelling musty from waiting so long
Then the two embraced
As hadn't been done in a long time
And full of tenderness and grace
They went to the square and began to hug each other
And there they danced so much
That the whole neighborhood woke up
And there was so much happiness
That the whole city lit up
And there were so many crazy kisses
So many hoarse shouts as hadn't been heard anymore
That the world understood
And the day dawned in peace
