Vem Magalenha rojÃ£o,traz a lenha pro fogÃ£o,vem fazer armaÃ§Ã£o.Hoje Ã© um dia de sol,alegria de coiÃ³,Ã© curtir o verÃ£o.O calangulango,do calango da pretinha,to cantando essa mudinha pra senhora se lembrar,daquele tempo que vivia lÃ¡ na roÃ§a com uma filha na barriga e outra filha pra cria.OariÃ¡ raiÃ´,obÃ¡,mas que nada,sai da minha frente,Eu quero passar,Pois o samba estÃ¡ animado,O que eu quero Ã© sambar,Este samba,Que Ã© misto de maracatu,Ã‰ samba de preto velho,Samba de preto tu,Um samba como esse tÃ£o legal,VocÃª nÃ£o vai querer.

Almost all the vocabulary is specific of a region in Brazil and most words are not listed in dictionaries. Any translation will look meaningless in English or any other language since many words might have to be explained. May I ask you what is your interest in this song?

	MozakStrokavi Number of messages: 26	Well I'm really interested in Brazilian music, the rhythm is facinating, although I don't know Brazilian or Portuguese, this is as far as I know, one of the most popular and recognizable song of Brazil, so I wanted to know the lyrics.

	lilian canale Number of messages: 14972	OK, but half of the intensity will be lost in a translation. Brazilian music is awesome, isn't it? The rhythm, the swing...however some of the songs which come from the Bahia region carry this kind of lyrics that are really hard for a foreigner to understand. They use words which are a mix of "crude" Portuguese and some vocabulary remaining from the time of slavery. I'll try to give you a version as accurate as possible, OK?
