Samba Colours

Is this the song from the sea?
The single mama Africa?
The silence of the ocean?
Or just the midnight scape?

Is this the corner of the earth?
Subversive poetry?
Walking down the street
Many colors all around me

Oh, samba in blues
And I hear again on the other side
Samba is blues

There is no sun upon the skies
There are no stars
I can't reach this moon
There is no way of living without you
Samba and blues

Yellow amarelo
Senzala is concret jungle
Sunflower girasol
Nature natureza

This is a melody of a guetto
The opiun of theirs souls
The colors of her eyes
Are black, dark, preto

Oh, samba in blues
Oh o samba é blues!

There is no sun upon these skies
There are no stars
I can't reach this moon
There is no way of living without you

Melodia que vêm do mar
Do ventre da Mãe África
Entre o silêncio dos oceanos
Da cor black, negro preto

Oh, o samba é blues
Oh, samba in blues

My samba and blues
