Deixe a Menina
Chico Buarque
Let the Girl
It's not because I'm in your presence
My dear boy
But you're doing badly
But really bad
It's ten o'clock, the samba is hot
Let the brunette be happy
Let the girl samba in peace
I didn't want to throw confetti
But I have to say
You're in a mess
You're hurting
And if you're going to continue hidden
With that husband-like face
The girl might get upset
Behind a sad man there's always a happy woman
And behind that woman, a thousand men, always so kind
So for your own good
Either get her out of your head or deserve the girl you have
I don't know if you should be ecstatic
My dear boy
But no one can stand you anymore
It's three o'clock, the samba is hot
Let the brunette be happy
Let the girl samba in peace
Behind a sad man there's always a happy woman
And behind that woman, a thousand men, always so kind
So for your own good
Either get her out of your head or deserve the girl you have
It's not because I'm in your presence
My dear boy
But you're doing badly
But really bad
It's six o'clock, the samba is hot
Let the brunette be with us
Let the girl samba in peace
