Original lyrics
Feitio de Oração
Quem acha
Vive se perdendo
Por isso agora vou me defendendo
Da dor tão cruel dessa saudade
Que por infelicidade
Meu pobre peito invade
Por isso agora
Lá na Penha vou mandar
Minha morena pra cantar
Com satisfação
E com harmonia
Esta triste melodia
Que é meu samba
Em feitio de oração
Batuque é um privilégio
Ninguém aprende samba no colégio
Sambar é chorar de alegria
É sorrir de nostalgia
Dentro da melodia
Por isso agora
Lá na Penha vou mandar
Minha morena pra cantar
Com maior satisfação
E com harmonia
Esta triste melodia
Que é meu samba
Em feitio de oração
O samba na realidade
Não vem do morro nem lá da cidade
E quem suportar uma paixão
Sentirá que o samba então
Nasce no coração

Translation
In the Shape of a Prayer
Those who find
Are always getting lost
That's why from now on I'll defend myself
From the cruel ache of this yearning
Which unfortunately
Breaks into my poor heart
That's why, now
I'm sending to Penha
My woman, singing
With satisfaction
And with harmony
This sad melody
That is my samba
In the shape of a prayer
A drum is a privilege
Nobody learns samba in school
To dance samba is to cry of happiness
It's to smile in nostalgia
In a melody
That's why, now
I'm sending to Penha
My woman, singing
With satisfaction
And with harmony
This sad melody
That is my samba
In the shape of a prayer
Samba, actually
Comes neither from the slums nor from the city
And those who can bear a passion
Will feel that samba
Is born in the heart
