Lyrics:

I melhor ser alegre que ser triste
Alegria i a melhor coisa que existe
I assim como a luz no coragco
Mas pra fazer um samba com beleza
I preciso um bocado de tristeza
Senco nco se faz um samba nco

Fazer samba nco i contar piada
E quem faz samba assim nco i de nada
O bom samba i uma forma de oragco
Porque o samba i a tristeza que balanga
E a tristeza tem sempre uma esperanga
De um dia nco ser mais triste nco

Pue um pouco de amor numa cadjncia
E vai ver que ninguim no mundo vence
A beleza que tem um samba nco
Porque o samba nasceu la na Bahia
E se hoje ele i branco na poesia
Ele i negro demais no coragco

Translation:
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
