O Cheiro da Carolina
Luiz Gonzaga
The Scent of Carolina
(La, la, la, la)
(La, la, la, la)
(La, la, la, la)
(La, la, la, la, la, la)
Carolina went to the samba
(Carolina)
To dance the xenhenhém
(Carolina)
Everyone is head over heels
(Carolina)
For the scent she has
(Carolina)
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Carolina, hmm, hmm, hmm
Carolina, hmm, hmm, hmm
(Carolina)
(For the scent she has)
(Carolina)
People who never danced
(Carolina)
On that day wanted to dance
(Carolina)
Just because of the little scent
(Carolina)
Everyone was there
(Carolina)
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Carolina, hmm, hmm, hmm
Carolina, hmm, hmm, hmm
(Carolina)
(Everyone was there)
(Carolina)
The Sheriff arrived
(Carolina)
To watch those who danced
(Carolina)
The Deputy joined the dance
(Carolina)
And in the end, he also smelled
(Carolina)
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Carolina, hmm, hmm, hmm
Carolina, hmm, hmm, hmm
(Carolina)
(And in the end, he also smelled)
(Carolina)
Then the owner of the house arrived
The owner of the house arrived with a fuss
Caught the attention of Mrs. Carolina and
Mrs. Carolina, come here
People are talking out there
That you have a different scent
Is it true?
Oh, I don't know about that, it's people's invention
Ah, it's people's invention, isn't it?
Yes, sir
Then excuse me
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Carolina, hmm, hmm, hmm
(Carolina)
I wish I were there
(Carolina)
To dance the xote with you
(Carolina)
So I could also take a little sniff
(Carolina)
And nuzzle your neck
(Carolina)
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Carolina, hmm, hmm, hmm
Carolina, hmm, hmm, hmm
(Carolina)
(And nuzzle your neck)
(Carolina)
(La, la, la, la)
(La, la, la, la)
(La, la, la, la)
(La, la, la, la, la, la)
