Pensou que eu não vinha mais, pensou
He thought I wasn't coming anymore, he thought
Cansou de esperar por mim
Tired of waiting for me
Acenda o refletor
Light the spotlight
Apure o tamborim
Sharpen the tambourine
Aqui é o meu lugar
Here is my place
Eu vim
I came
Fechou o tempo, o salão fechou
Time closed, the salon closed
Mas eu entro mesmo assim
But I go in anyway
Acenda o refletor
Light the spotlight
Apure o tamborim
Sharpen the tambourine
Aqui é o meu lugar
Here is my place
Eu vim
I came
Eu sei que fui um impostor
I know I was an impostor
Hipócrita querendo renegar seu amor
Hypocrite wanting to deny his love
Porém me deixe ao menos ser
But let me at least be
Pela última vez o seu compositor
For the last time your composer
Quem vibrou nas minhas mãos
Who vibrated in my hands
Não vai me largar assim
You won't let go of me like this
Acenda o refletor
Light the spotlight
Apure o tamborim
Sharpen the tambourine
Preciso lhe falar
I need to talk to you
Eu vim
I came
Com a flor
With the flower
Dos acordes que você
Of the chords you
Brotando cantou pra mim
Sprouting sang to me
Acenda o refletor
Light the spotlight
Apure o tamborim
Sharpen the tambourine
Aqui é o meu lugar
Here is my place
Eu vim
I came
Eu era sem tirar nem pôr
I was without taking or putting on
Um pobre de espírito ao desdenhar seu valor
A poor spirit in disdaining his worth
Porém meu samba, o trunfo é seu
But my samba, the trump card is yours
Pois quando de uma vez por todas
For when once and for all
Eu me for
I'm gone
E o silêncio me abraçar
And the silence embraces me
Você sambará sem mim
You will samba without me
Acenda o refletor
Light the spotlight
Apure o tamborim
Sharpen the tambourine
Aqui é o meu lugar
Here is my place
Eu vim
I came
