Translation
Samba for Vinicius
Poet, my poet friend
Tough poet
Of pagode* and of forgiveness
Forgive this improvised song
Inspired by you
And from the bottom of the heart
From the girl and the guitar, in the background
Poet, little poet wanderer
I wish everyone were made just like you
Because life does not enjoy waiting
Life is to be taken seriously
Life is to be taken on
Vinicius, old man, saravá**
Poet, little poet wanderer
Mischievous, chaotic
Restless, who pays and sees
Because life does not enjoy waiting
Life is to be taken seriously
Life is to be taken on
Vinicius, old man, saravá
Life is to be taken seriously
Life is to be taken on
Vinicius, old man, saravá

About translator
This song is a celebration to Vinicius and was performed at the beginning of shows as an introduction. There are some parts where it is difficult to make out exactly what was meant... I guess one would have had to know Vinicius for that!
* According to wikipedia, pagode seems to be subgenre of samba from Rio or perhaps a celebration which included music, food, and dancing
** Saravá is an afro-brazilian exclamation/greeting, kind of like 'hail' or 'blessings to you'
