O ariá rai, O?

CHORUS 1

***********

Mas que nada

Sai da minha frente eu quero passar

Pois o samba está animado

O que eu quero é sambar

Este samba que é misto de maracatu

é samba de preto velho

Samba de preto tu

CHORUS 2:

***********

Mas que nada

Um samba como esse do legal

Você no vai querer

Que eu chegue no final

English Translation (very rough)

********************************

Oh, little song, what are you?

What? What? What?

More of that nothing

It wants to pass in front of me

To liven up the samba

What I want to do is to samba

This samba, the samba of veiled color

the mix of your maracas,

the samba of antique veiled color

More of that nothing,

a samba that's just barely cool

You
