Brasil Pandeiro [English translation]

Now it's time to these tanned folks show their value

I went to Penha, I went ask its patron saint to help me

Hail to Morro do Vintém, Pendura Saia, 'cause I wanna see

I wanna see Uncle Sam playing the pandeiro to the world dance samba

Uncle Sam has been wanting to know our samba rhythm

He's been telling that the Bahia's sauce has improved his culinary

He's going to taste cuzcuz, acarajé and abará

On the White House he's already danced to the rhythm of samba

Brazil, warm up your pandeiros

Shine on your samba ground 'cause we want to dance samba

There are those who dance samba differently in other lands; in other cultures

In a sound good as hell

Samba drums, samba drums, unite your values

Your samba dancers and singers

An uniquely expression, oh my Brazil

Brazil, warm up your pandeiros

Shine on your samba ground 'cause we want to dance samba

We wanna dance samba, we wanna dance samba.
