O Amigo de Nova Iorque
Lá vem meu amigo de Nova Iorque( 4x)
Ele mora no gueto
Ele mora no Harlen
É do subterrâneo, é do mundo negro(2x)
Fez um ôba ôba nesse carnaval
Tocou no pandeiro, virou brasileiro
Subiu a mangueira e o Vidigal, Dá-lhe Salgueiro
Alô brother, alô man, alô black
He is my friend(2x)
Já foi a Bahia, já foi ao Bonfim
Comeu vatapá, bolo de aipim
Ele jogou capoeira, tocou berimbau
e tamborim
Alô brother...

The Friend from New York
Here comes my buddy from New York
Here comes my buddy from New York
Here comes my buddy from New York
Here comes my buddy from New York
He lives in the hood
He lives in Harlem
He's from the underground, he's from the black world
He's from the underground, he's from the black world
He made a fuss at this carnival
Played the tambourine, became Brazilian
Climbed the mango tree and Vidigal, Go Salgueiro
Hello brother, hello man, hello black
He is my friend
He is my friend
He's been to Bahia, he's been to Bonfim
Ate vatapá, cassava cake
He played capoeira, played the berimbau
and tambourine
Hello brother...
