A BEAUTIFUL TROPICAL COUNTRY

I have a beautiful tropical country,
which the sun touched,
I have an everlasting sea, every moment.
Every year
there's a carnival.
I've got a pretty good guitar
and a love whose name,
if you haven't heard, is Theresa.

Actually, maybe
I'm just a poor wanderer.
but at home
I'm the boss, I'm the law,
I'm the king! Yes yes
and my shirt is a flag
of love and carnivals and soccer.

PA?S TROPICAL

Moro num pa?s tropical
aben?oado por Deus
e bonito por natureza.

Em fevereiro, em fevereiro
tem Carnaval, tem Carnaval
Tenho um fusca e um viol?o
sou Flamengo e tenho uma negra chamada Tereza.

Sambaby, sambaby
sou um menino de mentalidade mediana
mas assim mesmo feliz da vida
pois n?o devo nada a ningu?m
Pois sou feliz, muito feliz comigo mesmo.

Moro ...

Sambaby, sambaby
posso n?o ser um band leader, pois ?
mas l? em casa todos meus camaradas
me respeitam, pois ?.
