Samba do Arnesto

Samba do Arnesto

"Samba do Arnesto" (English: "Arnesto's samba") is a classical samba song composed in 1953 by Italian Brazilian composer and singer Adoniran Barbosa. In his style of the "paulista" samba, it has humorous lyrics written in poor Portuguese language of the São Paulo city's poor suburbs with Italian immigrants. As is typical of many of his compositions, the last four lines are spoken instead of sung.

Lyrics

Original

O "Arnesto" nos "convidô" "prum" samba, ele mora no Brás
"Nóis" "fumo" e não "encontremos" ninguém
"Nóis" "vortemo" "cuma" baita duma "réiva"
Da outra "veiz" "nóis num vai" mais
"Nóis" não "semos" tatu!
Outro dia "encontremo" com o Arnesto
Que "pidiu descurpa mais nóis" não "aceitemos"
Isso não se faz, Arnesto, "nóis" não se importa
Mais você devia ter "ponhado" um recado na porta
"Ansim": "ói", turma, num deu pra "esperá"
A vez que isso "num" tem importância, num faz "má"
Depois que "nóis" vai, depois que "nóis vorta"
Assinado em cruz porque não sei escrever. "Arnesto"

Ernest has invited us for a samba, he lives in Brás
We went there and didn't find no one
We came back in a big rage
Next time, we won't go again
We are no racoon
The other day we found Ernest
Who asked for pardon but we didn't accept
You can't do this to us, Ernest, we don't care much,
But you should have put a message on the door
Like this: "See, gang, I couldn't wait for you
But since this is not important, no ill taken
After we go, after we come
Signed with a cross, because I can't write. Ernest

The Portuguese lyrics above include grammatical and pronunciation features of the local speech (in "italic") that violate official language norm. Those details are unfortunately lost in the English translation.
