Eu Sou o Samba - Chorus Line 1
The chorus is divided into two lines, and each of these lines is divided into four groups. The first three groups are the same for both lines: A, B and C. The only difference between to the two lines is the final group. In line 1, the final group is D, and in line two the final group is E.
So the lines are organized as follows:
