Perhaps some day
I'll find you here
To disenchant me
To make me smile

And perhaps some day
I’ll find you
And only if I implore you
Tell lies to make me dream

And in the sweet rhythm of samba
Losing myself in a roda de bamba
Never
To return again

And if you want to dance
If you want to dance
I can instruct you
In the rhythm of samba-ya-ya
In the rhythm of samba-ya-ya

[Chorus]
I'll call on Iansã and Ogum and Oxalá
I'll cast a spell to tie you down, bastard
I’ll do it, I'll do it
I wish you a life of disillusionment
I don't want caresses
Nor forgiveness
And may you be happy with whoever you find
But never return herе
To defile my home

And in thе sweet rhythm of samba
Losing myself in a roda de bamba
Never
To return again

And if you want to dance
If you want to dance
I can instruct you
In the rhythm of samba-ya-ya
In the rhythm of samba-ya-ya

[Chorus]
I'll call on Iansã and Ogum and Oxalá
I'll cast a spell to tie you down, bastard
I'll do it, I'll do it
