SAMBA DE ARERÊ

Meu samba tem muito axé,
Quer ver, vem dizer no pé.
Escute o som do tantã
(Tem samba até de manhã).

Pra curar o desamor
E a tristeza afastar,
Você que nunca sambou,
Se liga, tem que sambar.

Meu samba é de arerê,
Quem samba não quer parar.
Na hora do vamo vê,
Meu samba é ruim de aturar.

Tem o dom de resolver,
Deixa tudo no lugar.
Você que nunca sambou,
Se liga, tem que sambar.

Vem ver, o meu povo cantar!
Vem ver, o meu samba é assim.
Amor, você pode provar,
Mas deixe um pouquinho pra mim.

TRANSLATION

My samba has lots of axé (axé is power, strengh, energy)

Wanna see, come tell me with your feet.

Listen to the sound of tantã (tantã is a type of drum)

(we'll have samba till the dawn).

To cure all the brokenhearts

and to send sadness away,

You that have never dance samba before

Get real you have to try.

My samba is of arerê ( arerê is a type of messy party),

Who dances don't want to stop.

On the right time,

My samba is hard to handle.

Has the gift of solving problems,

Get al things in the right place (gets you fit).

You that have never dance samba before

Get real you have to try.

Come see my people sing!!

Come see, my samba is like this.

Babe you gotta taste this,

But leave a bit for me.
