Full lyrics

O samba é bom

Pra la de bom

Vamos cantar

Sem sair do tom


Quem quiser ver bom sambista

Vai em feira de santana

Berimbau e capoeira

No meio da feira tem toda semana

Se chegar em salvador

Acabou-se o tempo ruim

Que lá mora o projetor

Que é o nosso senhor do bonfim


Eu também gosto do mambo

De bolero e tacacá

So não gosto do twist

Não me peça pra tocar

Mas quando canto meu samba

Todo mundo quer sambar

A turma fica empolgada e não deixa o samba parar

Translation

Samba is good

Really good

Let's sing

Without going off-key


Whoever wants to see a good samba player

Goes to Feira de Santana

Berimbau and capoeira

In the middle of the fair every week

If you arrive in Salvador

The bad times are over

Because the projector lives there

Which is our Lord of Bonfim


I also like the mambo

Bolero and tacacá

I just don't like the twist

Don't ask me to play it

But when I sing my samba

Everyone wants to samba

The crowd gets excited and doesn't let the samba stop
