O Bonde Do Dom [English translation]

Each new day

I follow my thoughts of you

I’m so light in my mind that I can’t suffer

Samba is my work, and I can’t complain

I live singing just so I can touch you

Every day

I live thinking about marriage

Sticking rhymes together, like a poor man of the people

I rise in life with you on my altar

I stay in touch with my feelings just so I can sing about you

It’s the train of talent that takes me

The angels that carry me

The cars that encircle me

The saints that design and shape me

On the wings of the world’s love

A secret garden is carried there in the back of my mind

The seawater drinks me

The thirst for you carries on

The thirst for you…
