Mercado Modelo
The Mercado Modelo1 caught fireBut it shouldn't
Where will samba live?
Where am I going to live?
The skies of Bahia went ablaze
My guitar went ablaze
My market of ashes
Will be reborn!
The Mercado Modelo caught fire
But it shouldn't
Where will samba live?
Where am I going to live?
The skies of Bahia went ablaze
My guitar went ablaze
My market of ashes
Will be reborn!
And today my joy goes on
As my nostalgia rocks me
As if the day became night
A song perishes in the city
Oh... Goodbye samba girl
Oh, goodbye!
Goodbye, boats from the ramp2
Oh, goodbye!
Who set fire to my dear Mercado?
(Ah! Who knows!)
Who danced to the wrong steps?
(Ah! Who knows!)
Which path will my serenade take?
(Ah! Who knows!)
Where will my celebrating people go?
(Ah! Who knows!)
Who set fire to my dear Mercado?
(Ah! Who knows!)
Who danced to the wrong steps?
(Ah! Who knows!)
Which path will my serenade take?
(Ah! Who knows!)
Where will my celebrating people go?
(Ah! Who knows!)
The Mercado Modelo1 caught fire
But it shouldn't
Where will samba live?
Where am I going to live?
The skies of Bahia went ablaze
My guitar went ablaze
My market of ashes
Will be reborn!
