Bebel Gilberto - Samba Da Bencao (Samba Of Blessing)

[umbertino]

 

Composed by Vinicius De Moraes - RIP

 

 

 

 

 

 

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
