Só ponho bebop no meu samba
I only put bebop in my samba
Quando o tio Sam pegar no tamborim
When Uncle Sam picks up the tambourine
Quando ele pegar no pandeiro e no zabumba
When he picks up the tambourine and the zabumba
Quando ele entender que o samba não é rumba
When he understands that samba is not rumba
Aí eu vou misturar Miami com Copacabana
Then I'll mix Miami with Copacabana
Chicletes eu misturo com banana
Gum I mix with banana
E o meu samba vai ficar assim
And my samba will look like this
Quero ver a grande confusão
I want to see the big mess
É o samba-rock, meu irmão
It's samba-rock, my brother
Mas em compensação
But in compensation
Quero ver o boogie-woogie de pandeiro e violão
I want to see boogie-woogie with tambourine and guitar
Quero ver o tio Sam de frigideira
I want to see Uncle Sam in a frying pan
Numa batucada brasileira
In a Brazilian batucada
Quero ver o tio Sam de frigideira
I want to see Uncle Sam in a frying pan
Numa batucada brasileira
In a Brazilian batucada
Quero ver a grande confusão
I want to see the big mess
É o samba-rock, meu irmão
It's samba-rock, my brother
Só ponho o bibop no meu samba
I only put bibop in my samba
Quando o Tio Sam pegar pegar, pegar, pegar no tamborim
When Uncle Sam catches catch, catches, catches the tambourine
Quando ele pegar no pandeiro e no zabumba
When he picks up the tambourine and the zabumba
Quando ele entender que o samba não e rumba
When he understands that samba is not rumba
Aí eu vou misturar Miami com Copacabana
Then I'll mix Miami with Copacabana
Chicletes eu misturo com banana
Gum I mix with banana
E o meu samba vai ficar assim
And my samba will look like this
Quero ver a grande confusão
I want to see the big mess
É o samba rock, meu irmão
It's samba rock, my brother
É, mas em compensação
Yes, but in compensation
Eu quero ver o boogie-woogie de pandeiro e violão
I want to see boogie-woogie with tambourine and guitar
Quero ver o Tio Sam de frigideira
I want to see Uncle Sam in a frying pan
Numa batucada brasileira
In a Brazilian batucada
Quero ver o Tio Sam de frigideira
I want to see Uncle Sam in a frying pan
Numa batucada brasileira
In a Brazilian batucada
Vamos lá Igá
Let's go Iga
Quero ver a grande confusão
I want to see the big mess
É o samba-rock, meu irmão
It's samba-rock, my brother
