Fita Amarela

Noel Rosa Noel Rosa

Yellow Ribbon

When I die
I don't want candles or tears
I want a yellow ribbon
Engraved with her name

If there is a soul
Or if there is reencarnation
I would like the mixed girl
To tap dance on my coffin
(Dance, dance)

I don't want flowers
Neither want a crown of thorns
I just want a flute crying
With a viola and an ukulele
(Oh, when I die)

My enemies
The one who bad-mouth me
Will say they had never seen
Someone that was as good as me

I have no heirs
I don't have a single penny!
I lived owning everyone
But paid no one

When I die
I don't want tears or anything!
I want to listen to samba
During the midnight

I want the Sun
To not invade my coffin
So my poor soul
Don't die from a sunstroke

I am happy
And pleased to know
The brunettes who are so gracious
One day will be eaten by Earth
