Palpite Infeliz
Noel Rosa
Unlucky Guess
Who are you that doesn't know what you're saying?
My Heavens, what an unlucky guess!
Hail Estácio, Salgueiro, Mangueira,
Oswaldo Cruz and Matriz
Who always knew very well
That Vila doesn't want to silence anyone,
Just wants to show that it makes samba too
Writing poems in Vila is a game
To the sound of samba, even the trees dance
I already invited you to see
You didn't see because you didn't want to
Who are you that doesn't know what you're saying?
Vila is an independent city
That makes samba but doesn't want to take credit
Why care about those who don't know
Where their nose is?
Who are you that doesn't know what you're saying?
