Imperador do Samba

Silence
Make way!
Order, respect, and not a shout from the crowd
I want the grand tambourines
Here comes the Emperor of Samba

Silence
Make way!
Order, respect, and not a shout from the crowd
I want the grand tambourines
Here comes the Emperor of Samba

The Empress marches too
In front of a proud battalion
And here comes Princess Rumba
To see Her Majesty
Macumba is coming too
(So I ask for a lot of silence)

Silence
Make way!
Order, respect, and not a shout from the crowd
I want the grand tambourines
Here comes the Emperor of Samba

Silence
Make way!
Order, respect, and not a shout from the crowd
I want the grand tambourines
Here comes the Emperor of Samba

With the Tango and the Waltz they come too
Singing a hymn of praise
Here come the Embolada and the Toada
And the American Blues to greet the Emperor
(So I ask for a lot of silence)

Silence
Make way!
Order, respect, and not a shout from the crowd
I want the grand tambourines
Here comes the Emperor of Samba
