Rita Lee
As Minas de Sampa (English Translation)
[Verse 1]
The girls from "Sampa" are white like nobody else
Of course, Paulistas' beach is the Ibirapuera
The girls from "Sampa" want money from a nice guy
To be able to survive in an American way
The girls from "Sampa" are modern, eternal rich ladies
But to dance the samba you have to be Carioca
There are girls from "Sampa" that are discrete, concrete
A lady!
In the raves, they are very, very crazy
[Chorus]
I like thе girls from "Sampa" a lot!
I like the girls from "Sampa" a lot!
I like thе girls from "Sampa" a lot!
I like the girls from "Sampa" a lot!
[Verse 2]
The girls from "Sampa" are in style, in circles, in Rock
In focus!
It's from Paraguai the brand made in New York
The girls from "Sampa" say "mortandeila, berinjeila, apartameintu"
Bexiga's accent, girl, one hundred percent
The girls from "Sampa" know Bahia through photographies
What a nature!
Every Bahian girl lives easy
The girls from "Sampa" work hard, in the bank
Hands to the air!
Either give or get off or leave the asphalt
[Chorus]
I like the girls from "Sampa" a lot!
I like the girls from "Sampa" a lot!
I like the girls from "Sampa" a lot!
I like the girls from "Sampa" a lot!
