O ari rai, O? 
Ob, Ob, Ob, 
O (o, o, o, o,) ari rai, O? 
Ob, Ob, Ob...

Mas que nada 
Sai da minha frente eu quero passar 
Pois o samba est animado 
O que eu quero sambar 

Este samba que misto de maracatu 
samba de preto velho 
Samba de preto tu 
 [bad word] 2: 
Mas que nada 
Um [bad word] esse do legal 
Voc no vai querer 
Que eu chegue no final

Oh, little song, what are you? 
What? What? What? 

More of that nothing 
It wants to pass in front of me 
To liven up the samba 

What I want to do is to samba 
This samba, the samba of veiled color 
the mix of your maracas, 
the samba of antique veiled color 

More of that nothing, 
a samba that's just barely legal 
You start wanting to go into it 
then arriving at the end
