Samba De Bencao
V.A. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sou doce, dengosa, polida
Fiel como um cão
Sou capaz de te dar minha vida
Mas olha, não pise na bola
Se pular a cerca eu detono
Comigo não rola
Sou de me entregar
De corpo e alma na paixão
Mas não tente nunca
Enganar meu coração
Amor pra mim
Só vale assim
Sem precisar pedir perdão
Adoro sua mão atrevida
Seu toque, seu simples olhar
Já me deixa despida
Mas saiba que eu não sou boba
Debaixo da pele de gata
Eu escondo uma loba
Quando estou amando
Eu sou mulher de um homem só
Desço do meu salto
Faço o que te der prazer
Mas, oh! Meu rei
A minha lei
Você tem que saber
Sou mulher de te deixar
Se você me trair
E arranjar um novo amor
Só pra me distrair
Me balança mas não me destrói
Porque chumbo trocado não dói
Eu não como na mão
De quem brinca com a minha emoção
Sou mulher capaz de tudo
Pra te ver feliz
Mas também sou de cortar
O mal pela raiz
Não divido você com ninguém
Não nasci pra viver num harém
Não me deixe saber
Ou será bem melhor pra você
Me esquecer
Adoro sua mão atrevida
Seu toque, seu simples olhar
Já me deixa despida
Mas saiba que eu não sou boba
Debaixo da pele de gata
Eu escondo uma loba
Quando estou amando
Eu sou mulher de um homem só
Desço do meu salto
Faço o que te der prazer
Mas, oh! Meu rei
A minha lei
Você tem que saber
Sou mulher de te deixar
Se você me trair
E arranjar um novo amor
Só pra me distrair
Me balança mas não me destrói
Porque chumbo trocado não dói
Eu não como na mão
De quem brinca com a minha emoção
Sou mulher capaz de tudo
Pra te ver feliz
Mas também sou de cortar
O mal pela raiz
Não divido você com ninguém
Não nasci pra viver num harém
Não me deixe saber
Ou será bem melhor pra você
Sou mulher capaz de tudo
Pra te ver feliz
Mas também sou de cortar
O mal pela raiz
Não divido você com ninguém
Não nasci pra viver num harém
Não me deixe saber




Ou será bem melhor pra você
Me esquecer

But it's not a shopping list, lol
I will translate to English, so u guys can understand the beauty of this lyrics:

It's better to be happy than to be sad
Happiness is the best thing that is
Its like a light in the heart

But to make a samba, a beautiful samba
It's needed to have a lot of sorrow
It's needed a lot of sorrow
Or you couldn't make no samba, no

To do a samba is not like telling a joke
Who makes a samba in this way worth nothing
A good samba is like a pray

Because the samba is the sorrow with a swing
and the sorrow always has the hope, the sorrow always has the hope,
of one day doesn't be sad anymore

Put a lil love in a cadence
And you see that there's nothing more beautiful
Nothing more beautiful than samba, no

Because samba was born in Bahia - ( a brazilian state with the majority of black population) -
And if it, today, it's white in it's poetry - vinicius de Morais, the author of the lyrics, was an white poet and ambassador, who lost its post after the military regime in brazil -
If it today it's white in it's poetry, it's truly black in the heart



@deniscaesar

It's better to be happy than to be sad
Joy is the best thing that exists
It's like the light inside the heart.
However, for writing a beautiful samba,
it is required a lot of sadness
otherwise you can't do it.

Writing a samba is not telling a joke
And those who write sambas like these aren't worth it
The good samba is a kind of prayer
Because samba is the sadness that moves you
And the sadness always hopes
One day not being sad anymore.

Add some love to a pace
And you shall see that nobody in the world can beat
The beauty contained in a samba
Because the samba was born there in Bahia
And if today it's white regarding its poetry
It's too black in its heart.
