Paroles et traduction Zé Renato - Faceira

Faceira

Foi num samba
De gente bamba
Que eu te conheci, faceira
Fazendo visage
Passando rasteira
(Oi, que bom, que bom, que bom)

E desceste lá do morro
Pra viver aqui na cidade
Deixando os companheiros
Tristes loucos de saudade
Mas linda criança
Tenho fé, tenho esperança
Tu um dia hás de voltar
Direitinho ao teu lugar
(Oi, vamo embora agora)

Foi num samba
De gente bamba
Que eu te conheci, faceira
Fazendo visage
Passando rasteira
(Oi, que bom, que bom, que bom)

Quando rompe a batucada
Fica a turma aborrecida
O pandeiro não dá nada
Oi, a barriga recolhida
Tua companhia
Faz falar a bateria
Fica prosa o tamborim
Vem p'ro samba, vai por mim

Faceira

It was at a samba,
A lively samba,
That I met you, faceira,
Flirtatious and charming,
Tripping me up with your moves.
(Oh, it was wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.)

And you came down from the hill,
To live here in the city,
Leaving your friends behind,
Sad and longing for you.
But, fair maiden,
I have faith, I have hope,
That one day you'll return,
Straight back to where you belong.
(Oh, let's go now.)

It was at a samba,
A lively samba,
That I met you, faceira,
Flirtatious and charming,
Tripping me up with your moves.
(Oh, it was wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.)

When the drums start to beat,
The crowd gets restless,
The tambourine falls silent,
Their stomachs grumbling.
But your presence,
Brings life to the drums,
Makes the tambourine sing,
Come to the samba, follow me.
