Slum
When it's CarnivalI remember so much
The slum where she used to live
All I had
Was a matting and a pan
But she liked it
That's why I walk
The streets of the city
Perceiving that happiness
Is what is left in the past
And the slum
Which was mine
And hers
Left nothing but nostalgia
Because the rest, she took with her
A few days ago
I went up there
In the slum, but she wasn't there
Where the house used to be
I found a slipper
She used to wear when she danced samba
That's why I walk
The streets of the city
Perceiving that happiness
Is what is left in the past
And the slum
Which was mine
And hers
Left nothing but nostalgia
Because the rest, she took with her
I remember so much
The coffee she'd bring me
In a bowl
And some prayers
While I'd doze in the chapel
She prayed alone
That's why I walk
The streets of the city
Perceiving that happiness
Is what is left in the past
And the slum
Which was mine
And hers
Left nothing but nostalgia
Because the rest, she took with her
