Full lyrics
Bate, bate, bate, tamborim
Bate, bate, bate, sem parar
Bate, bate, bate, tamborim
Que a mulata entrou no samba
Com vontade de sambar
A ginga da mulata tem feitiçaria
Pra fazer o samba amanhecer o dia
Mulata ginga pra lá, mulata ginga pra cá
A sandália da mulata faz poeira levantar
Quando a nega entra no samba com vontade de sambar
Translation
Beat, beat, beat, tamborim
Beat, beat, beat, without stopping
Beat, beat, beat, tamborim
For the mulata entered the samba
With a desire to samba
The mulata's sway has enchantment
To make the samba last until dawn
Mulata sways this way, mulata sways that way
The mulata's sandal makes dust rise
When the nega enters the samba with a desire to samba
