Juca was apprehended in blazing
As a miscreant
For he danced samba right in front
Of Maria's window
Right in the middle of the enjoyment
The night became day
Its silver moonlight
Became cold rain
His serenade
Didn't awake Maria
Juca was disappointed
He declared to sheriff
That he didn't know if love is crime
Or if samba is sin
In self-defense
He drummed this in the table:
The sheriff bold 1
In the police station
But he never made samba
Never saw Maria
1. 'Bamba' is a slang that even I didn't knew. Old slang. So when I searched for it I discovered two variants: 1. the one who possesses great bravery or 2. the one who possesses great knowledge of something, an expert. As the guy was a sheriff, I preferred to pick up 'bold', but you interpret it as you want!
