Samba Of The Blessing

It's better to be happy than sad

Happiness is the best thing there is

It is like a light in the heart

But to make a samba with beauty

It's needed a bit of sadness

If not the samba can't be made

To make a samba is not like telling a joke

And who makes samba like this is worth nothing

The good samba is a kind of prayer

Because samba is the sadness that sways

And sadness is always hopeful

Of one day not being sad any more

Put a little love in the cadence

And you'll see that in this world nobody wins

The beauty that a samba have

Because samba was born in Bahia

And if today it is white in it's poetry

It is very black in it's heart.
