Full lyrics
Quem canta seus males espanta, É preciso cantar
Eu tenho certeza que a dona tristeza não vai perturbar
Todo cara sambista ele é otimista e não vai se entregar
Não banca moleza e não deixa a tristeza morar no seu lar
Quem fica parado é o carro quebrado virando sucata
Não vou na conversa se a gente tropeça a tristeza mata
Eu quero alegria, cantar e brincar a vida inteira
Enquanto eu não vestir um pijama de madeira
Translation
He who sings scares away his troubles, It is necessary to sing
I am sure that Lady Sadness will not disturb
Every samba enthusiast is optimistic and will not give up
Doesn't act soft and doesn't let sadness live in his home
He who stays still is the broken car turning into scrap
I won't be swayed by the idea that if we stumble, sadness kills
I want joy, to sing and play my whole life
Until I wear a wooden pajama
