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)
