Pra Que Discutir Com Madame
João Gilberto
Why Argue with Madame
Madame says the race doesn't improve
That life gets worse because of samba
Madame says samba is sinful
That poor samba should end
Madame says samba has cachaça
Mix of race, mix of color
Madame says democratic samba
Is cheap music with no value
Let's end samba
Madame doesn't like anyone to dance
She keeps saying samba is disgraceful
Why argue with madame?
Let's end samba
Madame doesn't like anyone to dance
She keeps saying samba is disgraceful
Why argue with madame?
Next carnival, I'll also compete
My hillside group will sing opera
And on the Avenue, amidst the crowds
You'll see people singing concertos
Madame is missing a screw
Only speaks poison, my God, how awful
Brazilian democratic samba
Brazilian in the potato is what's valuable
