Desde Que o Samba É Samba
João Gilberto
Since Samba is Samba
Sadness is the queen
Since samba's been samba, it's like this
The clear tear on dark skin
The night and the rain falling outside
Loneliness is terrifying
Everything dragging on, feeling so bad
But something happens
In the now inside me
Singing, I send sadness away
Samba will still be born
Samba hasn't arrived yet
Samba won't die
Look, the day hasn't broken yet
Samba is the father of pleasure
Samba is the child of pain
The great transforming power
Sadness is the queen
Since samba's been samba, it's like this
The clear tear on dark skin
The night and the rain falling outside
Loneliness is terrifying
Everything dragging on, feeling so bad
But something happens
In the now inside me
Singing, I send sadness away
Samba will still be born
Samba hasn't arrived yet
Samba won't die
Look, the day hasn't broken yet
Samba is the father of pleasure
Samba is the child of pain
The great transforming power
Sadness is the queen
Since samba's been samba, it's like this
The clear tear on dark skin
The night and the rain falling outside
Loneliness is terrifying
Everything dragging on, feeling so bad
But something happens
In the now inside me
Singing, I send sadness away
Singing, I send sadness away
Singing, I send sadness away
