Arrasta a sandália [English translation]

You, my bashful brunette

My verse, my prose

My laugh, my living

You are so graceful and coquettish

That for me you are the first

Of all the crowd

At the carnival,

Dancing Samba on the Avenue

You are the dearest

And I don't see anyone else (2x)

Drag the sandal that I want to see

I want to see, I want to see (4x)

On wednesday when the dream ends

I see your tired body

Of the three days of "carnival revelry"

In the corner the dusty sandal

The chastened costume

Nothing matters you are mine

At the carnival,

Dancing Samba on the Avenue

You are the dearest

And I don't see anyone else (2x)

Drag the sandal that I want to see

I want to see, I want to see (3x)
