Samba da minha terra       Samba from my land
deixa a gente mole       leaves the people weak
quando se canta todo mundo bole       when its sung everyone shakes
 
Quem não gosta de samba       One who doesn't like samba
bom sujeito não é       is not a good citizen
É ruim da cabeça       He is sick in the head
ou doente do pé       or sick in the foot
 
Eu nasci com o samba       I was born with the Samba
no samba me criei       on the samba I was raised
e do danado do samba       and of the condemned of the samba
nunca me separei       I will never be separated
