Samba Of The Blessing by (Baden Powell, Vinicius de Moraes) Samba Of The Blessing It's better to be happy than sad Happiness is the best thing there is It is like a light in the heart But to make a samba with beauty It's needed a bit of sadness If not the samba can't be made To make a samba is not like telling a joke And who makes samba like this is worth nothing The good samba is a kind of prayer Because samba is the sadness that sways And sadness is always hopeful Of one day not being sad any more Put a little love in the cadence And you'll see that in this world nobody wins The beauty that a samba have Because samba was born in Bahia And if today it is white in it's poetry It is very black in it's heart.
