Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 - "Mas Que Nada"

** Audio courtesy of & copyright owned by Universal Music Group (UMG) **

"Oari rai
Oba Oba Oba
Oari rai
Oba Oba Oba
Mas que nada
Sai da minha frente
Eu quero passar
Pois o samba est animado
O que eu quero sambar

Este samba
Que misto de maracatu
samba de preto velho
Samba de preto tu
Mas que nada
Um samba como esse to legal
Voc no vai querer
Que eu chegue no final."
-------------------------------------------------
English translation: "But that is nothing" (disputed)

"Oari rai
Oba oba oba
Whatever
Get out of my way
That I wanna pass
Because samba is really exciting
And I wanna dance [samba]

This samba
That is mixxed with maracatu*
Old black samba
Black samba you
Whatever
A samba like this is so nice
You don't me to get to the end."
