The Influence Of Jazz (Influencia do Jazz) C.Lyra/C.Foster
My poor samba’s sad
Lost and lonely inside the rhythms of someone elses song
Gone into the swing of a two and four groove
And found that it was lost in a tune full of notes
Just moving to the fast syncopation and new elevation of jazz
The poor samba’s changed
It no longer walks with the pulse that will leave us out in a trance
It sways in all directions with a frenzy of steps
The dance is something Brazilians fail to respect
Just moving to the blues intonation and new indentation of jazz (identification/inovation)
New life has just started
With all this music
Borrowed from round the world
Styles have developed
There is no ending
But where is the old samba?
The poor samba cries
Searching for himself in the hills of his home, where he is born
All he wants is simplicity once again
No one must take a measure or beat from his heart
And move him to the sweet complication and conglomeration of jazz
And move him to the fast syncopation of jazz
New elevation of jazz
Blues intonation of jazz
New indentation of jazz |
