Lyrics
Eu fui convidado
Por alguns amigos
Pra ir a uma festa beber e cantar
Peguei a viola, afinei a garganta
E até pus a manta, pra me agasalhar
E fiz um convite pra dona alegria
Melhor companhia pra festa não há
Mas eu não sabia, digo com franqueza
Que dona tristeza morava por lá
Levei um Rosário feito de esperança
Pra aquela festança que fui convidado
Cheguei satisfeito, alegria no peito
Sorriso na boca, viola de lado
Mas vi, com surpresa
Na primeira mesa
Sentada com outro
A mulher que eu amei
Voltei desolado, tristonho, magoado
Viola do lado
Não bebi, nem cantei
Lyrics translation
I was invited
By some friends
To go to a party drinking and singing
I took the viola, I tuned my throat
And I even put the blanket, to wrap myself
And I made an invitation to Mrs. Joy
Best party company there is
But I did not know, I say frankly
What a sad lady lived there
I took a rosary made of hope
For that party I was invited to
I arrived satisfied, joy in the chest
Smile in the mouth, viola on the side
But I saw, with surprise
At the first table
Sitting with another
The woman I loved
I came back desolate, sad, hurt
Viola from the side
I didn't drink, I didn't sing.
