Below, I translated the lyrics of the song A Tamba by Jorge Ben Jor from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
A conga esta chamando
The conga is calling
Vamos todos até lá
Let's all go there
Pois a tamba está tocando
Because the tamba is playing
Hoje nós vamos sambar
Today we're going to samba
Ié, ié, ié, ié, ié, iá
Ie, ié, ié, ié, ié, iá
Ié, ié, ié, ié, ié, iá
Ie, ié, ié, ié, ié, iá
Desde que se foi
Since it was gone
O nosso rei nagô, ô, ô
Our nago king, oh, oh
Ninguém jamais fez samba
No one's ever done samba
Ninguém jamais cantou
No one has ever sung
Um lamento ou uma canção de amor
A lament or a love song
Ié, ié, ié, ié, ié, iá
Ie, ié, ié, ié, ié, iá
Ié, ié, ié, ié, ié, iá
Ie, ié, ié, ié, ié, iá
Desde que se foi
Since it was gone
O nosso rei nagô, ô, ô
Our nago king, oh, oh
Ninguém jamais fez samba
No one's ever done samba
Ninguém jamais cantou
No one has ever sung
Um lamento ou uma canção de amor
A lament or a love song
