Samba Makossa

Top samba!
Where have you been before arriving at the circle, my brother?
The responsibility of playing your pandeiro is the responsibility of keeping yourself whole
So the time has come for this circle to begin
Heavy Samba Makossa, let's all celebrate

Cerebral, that's how it has to be
Top, that's how it is
Sound from the head and rocket from the foot
Samba makossa without a set time, it's heavy
Samba, samba, samba, samba, samba, samba, samba!
