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.
