Tem Mais Samba

Tem Mais Samba (Chico Buarque)

Tem mais samba no encontro que na espera

Tem mais samba a maldade que a ferida

Tem mais samba no porto que na vela

Tem mais samba o perdão que a despedida

Tem mais samba nas mãos do que nos olhos

Tem mais samba no chão do que na lua

Tem mais samba no homem que trabalha

Tem mais samba no som que vem da rua

Tem mais samba no peito de quem chora

Tem mais samba no pranto de quem vê

Que o bom samba não tem lugar nem hora

O coração de fora

Samba sem querer

Vem que passa

Teu sofrer

Se todo mundo sambasse

Seria tão fácil viver

Tem Mais Samba (translated by KT)

There is more samba in the meeting than in the waiting to meet

There is more samba in the evil than in the wound which the evil created

There is more samba in the port than in the sail capturing the wind

There is more samba in he who forgives than she who bids farewell without a word

There is more samba in the hands than in the eyes that see

There is more samba in the ground which we stand on than in the moon

There is more samba in the man who works day in day out

There is more samba in the rhythm that pours out from the street

There is more samba in the he whose heart cries wholeheartedly

There is more samba in the tears of those who mourn and weep for him

As a good samba never chooses where or when

With the heart without noticing

Unconsciously sambas

Let them all fade away

All your pain, all your suffering

If only the whole world is full of samba

We all would be so pleasant and peaceful
