Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Samba Feito Pra Mim by Elis Regina from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Pedi pra fazerem samba um pra mim
I asked them to do samba one for me
Pra desabafar meu coração
To vent my heart
Tenho tanta coisa pra dizer de mim
I have so much to say about me
Como eu gostaria de falar numa canção
How I'd like to talk about a song
Sei que o mundo é mal
I know the world is evil
Jamais vai entender
You'll never understand
Que esse samba vive de um sofrer
That this samba lives from a suffering
O dele é meu, nasceu assim
His is mine, born that way
Era preciso fazerem um samba pra mim
You had to do a samba for me
É meu, nasceu assim
It's mine, born like this
Era preciso fazerem um samba pra mim
You had to do a samba for me
Então pedi, pra fazerem um samba assim
So I asked them to do a samba like this
E esse samba foi feito todinho, pra mim
And this samba was made todinho, for me
Sei que omundo é mal
I know the world is evil
Jamais vai entender
You'll never understand
Que este samba vive de um sofrer
That this samba lives from a suffering
O dele é meu,nasceu assim
His is mine, born that way
Era preciso fazerem um samba, pra mim
You had to do a samba for me
Amei alguém
I loved someone
Fui só de alguém
I was just someone's
O mundo não procurou cpmpreender
The world did not seek cpmpreender
Então pedi, pra fazerem um samba assim
So I asked them to do a samba like this
E este samba foi feito todinho, pra mim
And this samba was made todinho, for me
