Prazer da Serrinha

Any child
Plays a tambourine, a surdo, and a cavaquinho
Accompanies the singing of a bird
Without missing the beat
Whoever doesn't believe
We might even prove
Believe it, because
We are not ones to deceive
Melody lives there
In the Pleasure of Serrinha!

If you go to Serrinha
On Monday, I should be there
I'll be singing my pagode
And there you can meet the gang
Enjoying Serrinha on Monday
I got drunk
But I was upset, buddy
I didn't find the rest of the crowd

(Any child)

Up on the hill of Serrinha
Where the Empire was born
Know that there are talented people
Who singing samba is a serious matter
Up on the hill of Serrinha, buddy
They put up a bronze statue
Because it's been fifteen days
Since I took on the tough guy at Praça Onze

(Any child)

I bring a great memory
From when I was a child, a little child
I keep in my memory
The fame and glory of old Serrinha
Get the lousy master out of the way
Immediately because I want to pass
I want to see Serrinha
On a beautiful night full of moonlight

(Any child)

If you go to Serrinha
Please don't take offense
Make sure to respect the colors
Of the imperial crown
Yesterday I went to Serrinha
Serrinha tamarineira
It reminded me of Dona Ivone
Master Silas de Oliveira
