Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Quando alguém me diz

When someone tells me

Que o samba veio do morro

That samba came from the hill

Eu me calo para não discutir

I keep quiet not to argue

O samba nasceu numa caixa de fósforo,

Samba was born in a matchbox

Foi no Café Nice,

It was at Café Nice

Ninguém vai me desmentir

No one will contradict me


Nice da boemia

Nice of bohemia

Muita inspiração e barriga vazia

Lots of inspiration and empty stomach

Bate-papo, gente bamba

Chit-chat, cool people

Ali nasceu a primeira escola de samba.

There was born the first samba school.
