Full lyrics
Um pedaço de arame (Lelê!)
Um pedaço de pau (Lelê!)
Faço o meu berimbau (Lelê!)
Vou sambando legal (Lelê!)
Samba de berimbau
Ai, morena
Arrasta a sandália aí
Que o samba tá bom e não pode parar
Cuidado pra não cair
Que bonito samba, que bom resultado
Do meu berimbau e do teu rebolado
(2x)
Translation
A piece of wire (Lelê!)
A piece of wood (Lelê!)
I make my berimbau (Lelê!)
I'm dancing samba well (Lelê!)
Berimbau samba
Oh, brunette
Drag your sandal there
Because the samba is good and can't stop
Be careful not to fall
What a beautiful samba, what a good result
From my berimbau and your hip sway
(2x)
