Quem Te Viu, Quem Te Vê [English translation]

you were the most beautiful cabrocha of that wing

you were the favourite, and i was the

today we don't even talk but the party goes on

your nights areof festivity, our samba is still on the streets

today the samba came out, la lalaia, searching for you

who saw you and who sees you now

those who don't know you, can't see more to believe

those who never forget can't recognize

when the samba started you were the most shinning

and if we got tired, you just keep going on

today people are far from the heat of your sway *"gingado" i translated as sway, it's like the move of the hips, the body, when they dance*

now you only do "cha dancante" where i'm not invited***

my samba marked in the cadency of your steps

my dreams lulled in the tenderness of your arms

today, of stubborn, i pass right in front your gate

to remember that left space in ?

every year i made you a cabrocha of high class

i dressed you on golden, so people could admire you

i don't know by sure why was it, that in a beautiful day

who played as princess get used to her costume

today i'm going dance samba in the floor, you'll go in the gallery

i want you to see me with the best company

if you miss that ,please dont be trying to show yourself

clap your hands like you mean it, pretend you're a turist
