Full lyrics
O Senhor Rei mandou me chamar
Lá no Paço Municipal
Para saudar a Rainha
Que estava chegando de Portugal
E vem chegando
A Rainha de Tamba
Um Rei 'Ariombo'
Vamos sarava
É pandeiro, é viola, é maracá
A Rainha de Tamba quer sambar
Lá vem o Rei 'Ariombo'
Rainha chega também
Trazendo o povo de Tamba
Na hora que Deus, amém
Tem gente de Moçambique
E de Luanda também vem
Meu povo chegou de Angola
Na hora de Deus, amém.
Translation
The Lord King sent for me
There at the Municipal Palace
To greet the Queen
Who was arriving from Portugal
And she's arriving
The Queen of Tamba
A King 'Ariombo'
Let's celebrate
It's pandeiro, it's viola, it's maraca
The Queen of Tamba wants to samba
There comes King 'Ariombo'
The Queen arrives too
Bringing the people of Tamba
At God's hour, amen
There are people from Mozambique
And from Luanda they also come
My people arrived from Angola
At God's hour, amen.
