Retalhos de cetim - Alcione

Ensaiei meu samba o ano inteiro

Comprei surdo e tamborim

Gastei tudo em fantasia

Era tudo o que eu queria

E ela jurou desfilar pra mim

A Mangueira (Minha escola) estava tão bonita

Era tudo o que eu queria ver

Em retalhos de cetim

Eu dormi o ano inteiro

E ela jurou desfilar pra mim

Mas chegou o carnaval

E ela não desfilou

Eu chorei na avenida, eu chorei

Não pensei que mentia a cabrocha, que eu tanto amei

I rehearsed my samba all year

I bought deaf and tambourine

I spent it all on fancy

Was all I wanted

And she swore to parade for me

The Mangueira (My school) was so beautiful

It was everything I wanted to see

In satin patchwork

I slept the whole year

And she swore to parade for me

But the carnival has arrived

And she did not parade

I cried on the avenue, I cried

I didn't think I was lying to the bitch, which I loved so much
