Silêncio No Bixiga

Silence
The samba player is sleeping
He left but he left smiling
The news arrived when night fell
Schools
I ask for a minute of silence
Bixiga is in mourning
The whistle of Pato N'água fell silent

He left
There's no bronze plaque
He won't be in history
Street samba player dies without glory
After all the joy he gave us
Like this
A fact repeats itself
Street samba player, artist of the people
And it's one more who left without saying goodbye

Silence...
