Paroles et traduction Elza Soares - As Polegadas da Mulata

As Polegadas da Mulata

Samba sem mulata não é samba, não senhor!
É samba triste
Samba só feito pra doutor
Sem a moreneza da mulata rebolando
A gente vai aos poucos
Até desanimando

Mulata é só quem tem aquela graça natural
De quem nasceu pro rebolado
Pois a cor dessa figura quem pintou foi Mãe Natura
Pra deixar o branco todo assanhado
No concurso de beleza
A mulata tá roubada
Porque sempre tá sobrando polegada

Mulata é só quem tem aquela graça natural
De quem nasceu pro rebolado
Pois a cor dessa figura quem pintou foi Mãe Natura
Pra deixar o branco todo assanhado
No concurso de beleza
A mulata tá roubada
Porque sempre tá sobrando polegada
Tá sobrando polegada

Inches of the Mulatta

Samba without a mulatto is not samba, no sir!
It's a sad samba
A samba made only for the doctor
Without the brown of the mulatta swaying
We're going little by little
Until we're discouraged

A mulatta is only one who has that natural grace
Of one who was born to sway
For the color of this figure was painted by Mother Nature
To leave the white man all excited
In the beauty contest
The mulatta is robbed
Because there's always inches to spare

A mulatta is only one who has that natural grace
Of one who was born to sway
For the color of this figure was painted by Mother Nature
To leave the white man all excited
In the beauty contest
The mulatta is robbed
Because there's always inches to spare
There's inches to spare
