Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Samba sem mulata não é samba não senhor!

Samba without a mulata is not samba, no sir!

É samba triste

It's a sad samba

Samba só feito pra doutor

Samba only made for the doctor

Sem a moreneza da mulata rebolando

Without the darkness of the mulata swaying

A gente vai aos poucos

We gradually go

Até desanimando

Until we get discouraged


Mulata é só quem tem aquela graça natural

Mulata is only the one with that natural grace

De quem nasceu pro rebolado

Who was born for the swaying

Pois a cor dessa figura quem pintou foi Mãe Natura

Because the color of this figure was painted by Mother Nature

Pra deixar o branco todo assanhado

To make the white all excited

No concurso de beleza

In the beauty contest

A mulata tá roubada

The mulata is in trouble

Porque sempre tá sobrando polegada

Because there's always an inch to spare


Mulata é só quem tem aquela graça natural

Mulata is only the one with that natural grace

De quem nasceu pro rebolado

Who was born for the swaying

Pois a cor dessa figura quem pintou foi Mãe Natura

Because the color of this figure was painted by Mother Nature

Pra deixar o branco todo assanhado

To make the white all excited

No concurso de beleza

In the beauty contest

A mulata tá roubada

The mulata is in trouble

Porque sempre tá sobrando polegada

Because there's always an inch to spare
