Tereza Tristeza
Chico Buarque
Tereza Sadness
Oh Tereza, this sadness
Has no solution
Take my place at the table
Don't wait for me
I'm not going, no
At least I'm honest
That I adore you
That I want you
But I don't feel right without Mardi Gras
No
Oh Tereza, this sadness
Has no solution
Being a woman is much more
Than sewing a button
Don't you see
That when a man is a man
He goes through cold and hunger
But doesn't feel right without Mardi Gras
Says there's no coffee
Says there's no beans
No sandals for the feet
No ring for the finger
Oh Tereza
It's such little sadness
Some people don't even have Mardi Gras
No
