A Tamba [English translation]

The conga is calling.

Let's go there,

because the tamba is playing.

Today we're going to dance the samba.

Ye-ye-ye-ye-ye-yah,

ye-ye-ye-ye-ye-yah...

Since there was

our King Negro-o-oh...

Nobody ever danced the samba,

nobody ever sang...

O-o-o-oh,

o-o-o-oh...

A lament or a song of love...

Ye-ye-ye-ye-ye-yah,

ye-ye-ye-ye-ye-yah...

Since there was

our King Negro-o-oh...

Nobody ever danced the samba,

nobody ever sang...

O-o-o-oh,

o-o-o-oh...

A lament or a song of love...
