Full lyrics

Pretinha jóia rara treme as cordas vocais

A paz estampa a cara acalentando os casais

E geme o peito aflito do perito rapaz

Meu canto é mais um grito, a preta ta com cartaz


Por mais esse conflito levo a vida no gás

E percebendo o agito a preta chega pra trás

Revendo ousada face todo o bem que me faz

Concluí que nosso enlace é complicado demais


Não sou mais eu quem vai te chatear

Só vou olhar, ousar, ouvir

E quando meu cantar ferir as cordas do teu violão

Ganhar tua indicação

Quem sabe até teu coração não me faz mais uma vez sorrir


Mas se teu julgamento condenou todo meu proceder

Faz um juramento pra mim, uns dois, três, beijinhos assim

Gorjeta pra me agradecer

O samba que fiz pra você

Pretinha, pretinha jóia rara de se ver


Não sou mais eu quem vai te chatear

Só vou olhar, ousar, ouvir

E quando meu cantar ferir as cordas do teu violão

Ganhar tua indicação

Quem sabe até teu coração não me faz mais uma vez sorrir


Mas se teu julgamento condenou todo meu proceder

Faz um juramento pra mim, uns dois, três, beijinhos assim

Gorjeta pra me agradecer

O samba que fiz pra você

Pretinha, pretinha jóia rara de se ver


Pretinha, pretinha, pretinha

Pretinha

Translation

My dark-skinned darling, rare jewel, tremble your vocal cords

Peace graces faces, comforting couples

And the afflicted chest of the expert boy groans

My song is just another cry, my girl is on display


Through this conflict, I live life in the fast lane

And noticing the hustle, my girl steps back

Reviewing your bold face, all the good you do me

I concluded that our bond is too complicated


It's no longer me who will bother you

I'll just watch, dare, listen

And when my singing hurts the strings of your guitar

Earn your approval

Who knows, maybe your heart will make me smile once more


But if your judgment condemned all my actions

Make a vow to me, a few, two, three little kisses like that

A tip to thank me

The samba I made for you

My dark-skinned darling, my dark-skinned darling, a rare jewel to see


It's no longer me who will bother you

I'll just watch, dare, listen

And when my singing hurts the strings of your guitar

Earn your approval

Who knows, maybe your heart will make me smile once more


But if your judgment condemned all my actions

Make a vow to me, a few, two, three little kisses like that

A tip to thank me

The samba I made for you

My dark-skinned darling, my dark-skinned darling, a rare jewel to see


My dark-skinned darling, my dark-skinned darling, my dark-skinned darling

My dark-skinned darling
