Samba do Grande Amor [English translation]

I believed

That now

I lived at last

The great love

Bullshit!

I threw myself

From a trampoline

Was until the end a lover

Went through a summer

On water and bread

Gave my share

To the great love

Bullshit!

I put my hand

On fire

With my warrantor's heart

Today I have only

A stone in my chest

I demand respect

I'm no longer a dreamer

I even change sides on the street

When I see a flower

And I laugh at the great love

Bullshit!

I was very faithful

Bought a ring

Put down on paper

The great love

Bullshit!

I booked a hotel room

Sarapatel*

And honeymoon

In Salvador**

Went to pray at the Holy See

To St. Joseph

Because I believed

In the great love

Bullshit!

Even made a vow

To Oxumaré

To climb the Redeemer on foot

Today I have only

A stone in my chest

I demand respect

I'm no longer a dreamer

I even change sides on the street

When I see a flower

And I laugh at the great love

Bullshit!
