Adeus America

Não posso mais, ai que saudade do Brasil
Ai que vontade que eu tenho de voltar
Adeus América, essa terra é muito boa
Mas não posso ficar porque
O samba mandou me chamar
O samba mandou me chamar

Eu digo adeus ao boogie woogie, ao woogie boogie
E ao swing também
Chega de rocks, fox-trotes e pinotes
Que isso não me convém

Eu vou voltar pra cuíca, bater na barrica
Tocar tamborim
Chega de lights e all rights, e de fights, good nights
Isso não dá mais pra mim
Eu quero um samba feito só pra mim

I gotta go
Now I know, now I know
That I gotta go back to Brazil
The USA is ok
It's ok, it's ok
But I just can't stay

The samba is calling me back home
The samba is calling me back home
So it's goodbye to boogie-woogie, woogie boogie, foxtrot, swing, bebop and soul
It's goodbye to country, western, heavy metal, disco, folk, funk, punk, rap and rock'n'roll

I wanna hear the cuíca, beat on the barrica
Play the tambourine
I miss the lights and the sights
And the warm summer nights
Filled with Brazilian song
Brazil, I've been away from you too long

[Instrumental]

Não posso mais, ai que saudade do Brasil
Ai que vontade que eu tenho de voltar
Adeus América, essa terra é muito boa
Mas não posso ficar porque
O samba mandou me chamar
O samba mandou me chamar

The samba is calling me back home
The samba is calling me back home
So it's goodbye to boogie-woogie, woogie boogie, foxtrot, swing, bebop and soul
It's goodbye to country, western, heavy metal, disco, folk, funk, punk, rap and rock'n'roll

I wanna hear the cuíca, beat on the barrica
Play the tambourine
I miss the lights and the sights
And the warm summer nights
Filled with Brazilian song
Brazil, I've been away from you too long

O samba mandou me chamar
The samba is calling me back home

O samba, o samba
O samba, o samba mandou me chamar
Mandou me chamar, mandou me chamar
Mandou me chamar
O samba, o samba
O samba, o samba
O samba, o samba
O samba samba samba
Samba samba samba
O samba, o samba
O samba, o samba
O samba, o samba
