Tem Mais Samba [English translation]

There's more samba in meeting than in waiting

There's more samba in evil than in wounds

There's more samba in the port than in the sails

There's more samba in forgiveness than in farewells

There's more samba in the hands than in the eyes

There's more samba on the floor than on the moon

There's more samba in the man who works

There's more samba in the sound coming from the streets

There's more samba in the chest of those who weep

There's more samba in the wailing of those who see

That the good samba doesn't have a place or time

The outside heart dances the samba without meaning to

Come and your suffering will be gone

If everyone danced the samba it would be so easy to live

Come and your suferring will be gone

If everyone danced the samba it would be so easy to live
