You were embarrassed and shy
You stood still, knowing nothing
When I said that I like you
You looked at me and decisively
You spoke so delicately
That I shouldn't like you
But life is like this and despite everything
I like you and damn the world
Who knows if in these turns that life gives
You can change your mind and look for me
I'll wait

I'm going to stay here until dawn returns
And bring you to me
I'm going to stay here

I'm going to stay here until dawn returns
And bring you to me

I rehearsed my samba all year
I bought a bass drum and tambourine
Spent everything on costume
It was all I wanted
And she swore to parade for me
My school was so beautiful
It was all I wanted to see
In satin scraps
I slept all year
And she swore to parade for me
But carnival arrived
And she didn't parade
I cried on the avenue, I cried
I didn't think the girl I loved so much lied

Hey, my friend Charlie (my friend Xande)
Hey, my friend Charlie Brown

Hey, my friend Charlie
Hey, my friend Charlie Brown

If you want I'll show you
Our São Paulo, land of drizzle
If you want I'll show you
Caetano's Bahia, our good people
If you want I'll show you
The most beautiful hare of the Imperial
If you want I'll show you
My Rio de Janeiro and our carnival

Hey, my friend Charlie (my friend Charlie Brown)
Hey, my friend Charlie Brown

Hey, my friend Charlie
Hey, my friend Charlie Brown

If you want I'll show you
Vinícius de Moraes and the sound of Jorge Ben
If you want I'll show you
Flamengo's crowd, there's nothing like it
If you want I'll show you
Luiz Gonzaga, king of my baião
If you want I'll show you
The revelation of my heart

Hey, my friend Charlie
Hey, my friend Charlie Brown

Hey, my friend Charlie
Hey, my friend Charlie Brown

Hey, my friend Charlie
Hey, my friend Charlie Brown

Hey, my friend Charlie Brown
Hey, my friend Charlie
Hey, my friend Charlie Brown
