O Samba e o Tango

The Samba and the Tango

O Samba e o Tango

The time has come, it has arrived, it has arrivedChegou a hora, chegou, chegou
My body trembles and sways like a pandeiroMeu corpo treme e ginga qual pandeiro
The time is right and the samba has begunA hora é boa e o samba começou
And it invited the tango as a partnerE fez convite ao tango pra parceiro

The time has come, it has arrived, it has arrivedChegou a hora, chegou chegou
My body trembles and sways like a pandeiroMeu corpo treme e ginga qual pandeiro
The time is right and the samba has begunA hora é boa e o samba começou
And it invited the tango as a partnerE fêz convite ao tango pra parceiro

Man, I don't know why I love youHombre yo no sé porque te quiero
I have sincere love for youYo te tengo amor sincero
The girl from the Plata saysDiz a muchacha do Prata
But in Brazil it's differentPéro no Brasil é diferente
I simply love you, your love disrespects meYo te quiero simplesmente teu amor me desacata
Speak Spanish in the fandangoHabla castellano no fandango
Argentinian sings tangoArgentino canta tango
Sometimes slow, sometimes fastOra lento, ora ligeiro

And I sing and dance whenever I canE eu canto e danço sempre que possa
A samba full of styleUm sambinha cheio de bossa
I'm from Rio de JaneiroSou do Rio de Janeiro
