Esperanças Perdidas

Lalaia, lalaia
Lalaia, lalalaia, lalaia

How many beauties are left in the corners of life
That no one wants or even tries to find
And how many dreams become lost hopes
That someone let die without even trying

I find my beauty in the samba I do
My sadness becomes a happy song
It's just that I carry samba deep inside my chest
I can't stay without the cadence of samba

I can't stay, I swear I won't
I can't stay, I'm right
I was already baptized in the bamba circle
Samba is the rope and I am the bucket

I can't stay, I swear I won't
I can't stay, I'm right
I was already baptized in the bamba circle
Samba is the rope and I am the bucket

How many nights of sadness he comforts me
I have my guitar as a witness
Oh, if I miss samba, I don't know what will happen
I can't stay without the cadence of samba

I can't stay, I swear I won't
I can't stay, I'm right
I was already baptized in the bamba circle
Samba is the rope and I am the bucket

I can't stay, I swear I won't
I can't stay, I'm right
I was already baptized in the bamba circle
Samba is the rope, I am the bucket

How many beauties are left in the corners of life
(Laia, lalaia, laia, laia)
That no one wants or even tries to find
(Lalaia)

And how many dreams become lost hopes
(Laia, laia)
That someone let die without even trying
(Lalaia)

I find my beauty in the samba I do
(Laia, laia, laia, laia)
My sadness becomes a happy song
(Lalaia)

It's just that I carry samba deep inside my chest
(Laia, laia)
I can't stay without the cadence of samba

I can't stay, I swear I won't
I can't stay, I'm right
I was already baptized in the bamba circle
Samba is the rope, I am the bucket

I can't stay, I swear I won't
I can't stay, I'm right
I was already baptized in the bamba circle
Samba is the rope, I am the bucket

I can't stay, I swear I won't
I can't stay, I'm right
I was already baptized in the bamba circle
Samba is the rope, I am the bucket

I can't stay, I swear I won't (no)
I can't stay
