Bem que eu vi o Yamandu
Well I saw Yamandu
Com seu violão ligeiro
With your light guitar
Parece que é pressa
It seems like it's a rush
Mas é só suíngue à beça
But it's just a lot of swing
E bossa e vibração no corpo inteiro
And hum and vibration throughout the body
Só quem segue o Yamandu
Only those who follow Yamandu
É o frisson do pandeiro
It's the frisson of the tambourine
Vê se pega o Yamandu
See if you can catch Yamandu
Lá vai o Yamandu, não deu
There goes Yamandu, it didn't work
Yamandu chegou primeiro
Yamandu arrived first
Violão brejeiro corre assim
Brejeiro guitar runs like this
Viva o brasileiro até o fim
Long live the Brazilian until the end
Veja as mãos, ouça o fraseado
See the hands, hear the phrasing
Parece que é só
It seems like it's just
Bolado e treinado, ensaiado, e não é
Bold and trained, rehearsed, and it's not
Tem que ouvir o Yamandu
You have to listen to Yamandu
Com seu violão ligeiro
With your light guitar
Vê se pega o Yamandu
See if you can catch Yamandu
Lá vai o Yamandu, não deu
There goes Yamandu, it didn't work
Yamandu chegou primeiro
Yamandu arrived first
