Lyrics

No Carnaval
Me lembro tanto da favela
Onde ela morava
Tudo que eu tinha
Era uma esteira e uma panela
E ela gostava
Por isso eu ando
Pelas ruas da cidade
Vendo que a felicidade
Foi aquilo que passou
E a favela
Que era minha e que era dela
Só deixou muita saudade
Porque o resto ela levou
Inda outro dia
Eu fui lá cima na favela
E ela não, não estava
Onde era a casa
Eu encontrei uma chinela
Que ela, ôh! Sambava
Por isso eu ando
Pelas ruas da cidade
Vendo que a felicidade
Foi aquilo que passou
E a favela
Que era minha e que era dela
Só deixou muita saudade
Porque o resto ela levou

Lyrics translation

At The Carnival
I remember the favela so much
Where she lived
All I had
It was a mat and a pot
And she liked it
That's why I walk
Through the streets of the city
Seeing that happiness
That's what happened.
And the favela
That it was mine and that it was hers
He just missed you so much.
Because the rest she took
Inda another day
I went up there in the slum
And she wasn't, she wasn't.
Where was the House
I found a slipper
That she, Oh! Sambava
That's why I walk
Through the streets of the city
Seeing that happiness
That's what happened.
And the favela
That it was mine and that it was hers
He just missed you so much.
Because the rest she took
