Sambinha Bom Lyrics in English Mallu Magalhães

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Sambinha Bom by Mallu Magalhães from Portuguese to English.
Good little samba
It's the one that brings you back
Just play it
And right away you wanna return
My heart
Is tired of shedding so many tears
And begs 'come back' so we can dance
Good little samba
It's the one with few notes
Just play it
That you soon wanna sing
My heart
Is tired of shedding so many tears
And pleads 'come back' so we can samba
I, I wanna stay with you
I, I wanna stick to you
I, I wanna embroider myself on you
I wanna become your skin
I wanna make a cover
I wanna take your clothes off
Good little samba
It's the one that brings you back
Just sing it
And right away you wanna return
My heart
Is tired of pouring out so much charm
And asks 'come back' so we can samba
I, I wanna stay with you
I, I wanna stick to you
I, I wanna embroider myself on you
I wanna become your skin
I wanna make a cover
I wanna take your clothes off
Did you like these lyrics?
SONG MEANING

“Sambinha Bom” (Good Little Samba) is Mallu Magalhães’s ode to the irresistible power of a simple samba groove. The singer describes a tune so catchy that the moment it starts you feel an urge to come back, sing along, and hit the dance floor again. Over light, circular chords and few notes, she explains that this tiny musical spell can pull lovers together better than words ever could.

Beneath the playful rhythm lies a heartfelt plea. Mallu’s narrator admits her heart is tired of shedding tears and now begs for her partner’s return, hoping they can dance, sing, and sambar their sorrows away. The lyrics grow more intimate and mischievous as she declares she wants to “stick” to her lover, embroider herself into their very skin, and even strip away their clothes. It is a flirtatious cocktail of longing, tenderness, and Brazilian swing — showing how music can heal hurt feelings, spark desire, and turn any room into a small carnival.
