O Cheiro da Carolina
Luiz Gonzaga
The Scent of Carolina
(There, there, there, there)
(There, there, there, there)
(There, there, there, there)
(There, there, there, there, there, there)
Carolina went to samba
(Carolina)
To dance the xenhenhém
(Carolina)
Everyone is a crush
(Carolina)
By the smell she has
(Carolina)
Hum, hum, hum
Carolina, hum, hum, hum
Carolina, hum, hum, hum
(Carolina)
(By the smell she has)
(Carolina)
People who have never danced
(Carolina)
That day I wanted to dance
(Carolina)
Just because of the smell
(Carolina)
Everyone was there
(Carolina)
Hum, hum, hum
Carolina, hum, hum, hum
Carolina, hum, hum, hum
(Carolina)
(Everyone was there)
(Carolina)
The Delegate arrived
(Carolina)
For those who danced, look at
(Carolina)
The Sheriff joined the dance
(Carolina)
And in the end it also smelled
(Carolina)
Hum, hum, hum
Carolina, hum, hum, hum
Carolina, hum, hum, hum
(Carolina)
(And in the end it smelled too)
(Carolina)
Then the owner of the house arrived
The owner of the house arrived with the crutch
It caught Dona Carolina's attention and
Mrs. Carolina, come here
People are talking about it
That you have a different smell
And truth?
Vôti, I don't know that, it's the people's invention
Ah, it's a people's invention, isn't it?
Yes, sir
Then excuse me
Hum, hum, hum
Carolina, hum, hum, hum
(Carolina)
I wish I was there
(Carolina)
To dance the xote with you
(Carolina)
So I can give you a little smell too
(Carolina)
And sniff your neck
(Carolina)
Hum, hum, hum
Carolina, hum, hum, hum
Carolina, hum, hum, hum
(Carolina)
(And sniff your neck)
(Carolina)
(There, there, there, there)
(There, there, there, there)
(There, there, there, there)
(There, there, there, there, there, there)
