The Happy People - Airto Moreira

Ô, como é que é, tudo bem?

Oh, yeah, right

I just got back from Brazil

Or… Brasil

You know, I was walking in the streets in Brazil

And I saw this guy

He was beating this little drum

And was a Carnival time and… and was great

The guy was the samba himself

Then I said «Hey, man, what is your name?»

And he said «My name is Samba»

I wanna tell you about this samba, samba, samba

Samba doe and samba la

Down in Brasil in the Carnaval the people dance all day long around the town

I wanna tell you about this samba, samba, samba

Samba doe and samba la

Down in Brasil in the Carnaval the people dance all day long around the town

The happy people there sing the heaven above

The happy samba goes everywhere that you go

I wanna tell you about this samba, samba, samba

Samba doe and samba la

Samba doe and samba la

Samba doe and samba la

Samba doe and samba la

The happy people there sing the heaven above

The happy samba goes everywhere that you go

I wanna tell you about this samba, samba, samba

Samba doe and samba la

Samba doe and samba la

Samba doe and samba la

Samba doe and samba la

Samba doe and samba la

Samba doe and samba la (eh)

Samba doe and samba la (eh)

Samba doe and samba la

Samba doe and samba la

Samba doe and samba la (whoo)

Samba doe and samba la (whoo)

Samba doe and samba la (vamo lá)

Samba doe and samba la (whoo)

(Samba doe and samba la)

(Samba doe and samba la)

(Samba doe and samba la)
