Samba Makossa

My family wants everything as if they didn't want anything
But takes it by storm when they arrive at the party

Top-notch samba
Where have you been
Before joining the circle, my brother?
I said top-notch samba
Where have you been
Before joining the circle, good blood?

The responsibility of playing your tambourine
Is the responsibility of keeping yourself whole
It's about keeping yourself whole, whole

So the time has come
For this circle to start
Heavy-duty Samba Makossa
Let's all celebrate

Brainy
That's how it has to be
Top-notch
Because that's how it is
Hand on the head and skate on the foot
Samba Makossa has a set time
It's from the hood, it's from the hood

Top-notch samba
Where have you been
Before joining the circle, good blood?

The responsibility of playing your tambourine
Is the responsibility of keeping yourself whole
It's, it's about keeping yourself whole

So the time has come
For this circle to start
Heavy-duty Samba Makossa
Let's all celebrate

Brainy
That's how it has to be
Top-notch
Because that's how it is
Hand on the head and skate on the foot
Samba Makossa has a set time
It's heavy-duty, it's heavy-duty
It's heavy-duty, it's heavy-duty
On the down-low

Modernizing the past
Is a musical revolution
Where are the notes that were here?
I don't need them
It's enough that it sounds good to the ears
Long live Zapata! Long live Sandino! Long live Zumbi!
Antônio Conselheiro (Sabotage)
All the Black Panthers
Lampião, your image resemblance
I'm sure, just like Sabotage
Chico Science, they also sang one day

Samba, samba, samba, samba, samba
Samba, samba, samba, samba, samba, samba, samba
Samba, samba, samba, samba, samba
Samba, samba, danced
I said samba, samba, samba, samba, samba
Samba, samba, samba, samba, samba
Samba, samba

Top-notch
That's how it has to be
Top-notch
Because that's how it is
Hand on the head and skate on the foot
Samba Makossa has a set time
It's heavy-duty
It's from the hood, it's from the hood
