[Verse 1]
I remember love when we were in Capri
I remember all 'cause I felt so well
Dancing at the moon when the moon was brighter
After being all day in under the sun

[Verse 2]
I kissed your lips, and I said "I love you"
Your smiling eyes were brighter than stars
Your face was a midnight rose, and I was sniffing its perfume
That's why I wanted to go back to the time I said

[Chorus]
'Cause I like you to be lovely in the way you used to be
'Cause I like you to be lovely in the way you used to be
La-la, lai-la, lai-la, la, lai-la, lai
La-la, lai-la, lai-la, la, lai-la
Aye, Mama Samba-a-a!
Aye, Mama Samba-a-a!

[Verse 3]
Let's go back again to the days in Capri
Let's go back to the sound of the Grotto Blue
I wanna feel again that the moon is brighter
When I kissed your cheek before I kissed your lips
[Verse 4]
I wanna feel the sweet feelin' beneath the sunlight
Blessing at the moon through the fields of time
Your hand put inside my hand meaning that you love me
That's why I wanted to go back to the time I said

[Chorus]
'Cause I like you to be lovely in the way you used to be
'Cause I like you to be lovely in the way you used to be
La-la, lai-la, lai-la, la, lai-la, lai
La-la, lai-la, lai-la, la, lai-la
Aye, Mama Samba-a-a!

[Chorus]
'Cause I like you to be lovely in the way you used to be
'Cause I like you to be lovely in the way you used to be
La-la, lai-la, lai-la, la, lai-la, lai
La-la, lai-la, lai-la, la, lai-la
Aye, Mama Samba-a-a!

[Outro]
Aye, Mama Samba-a-a!
Aye, Mama Samba-a-a!
Aye, Mama Samba-a-a!
Aye, Mama Samba-a-a!
Aye, Mama Samba-a-a!
Aye, Mama Samba-a-a!
Aye, Mama Samba-a-a!
