Full lyrics

Eu vou sambar, vou mostrar pra essa gente

Que também sou competente,

Também sei sambalançar.


Não sei se o samba balança,

O que eu faço vai causar um embaraço

E você se atrapalhar.


REFRÃO


Com berimbau eu balanço, eu balanço

Sem berimbau eu balanço também

Quero mostrar pra você

O valor que meu balanço tem, tem, tem, tem


REFRÃO

Translation

I'm going to samba, I'm going to show these people

That I am also competent,

I also know how to sway.


I don't know if the samba sways,

What I do will cause an embarrassment

And you'll get flustered.


REFRÃO


With berimbau I sway, I sway

Without berimbau I sway too

I want to show you

The value my sway has, has, has, has


REFRÃO
