Original lyrics
Mas Que Nada
Ô, ô ô ô ô ariá, raiô!
Obá, obá, obá!
Ô, ô ô ô ô ariá, raiô!
Obá, obá, obá!
Mas que nada,
sai da minha frente
que eu quero passar.
Pois o samba está animado,
e o que eu quero é sambar...
Esse samba
que é misto de Maracatu,
Samba de Preto Velho
Samba de Preto Tutú...
Mas que nada,
um samba como este tão legal.
Você não vai querer
que eu chegue no final...
Ô, ô ô ô ô ariá, raiô!
Obá, obá, obá!
Ô, ô ô ô ô ariá, raiô!
Obá, obá, obá!
Esse samba
que é misto de Maracatu,
Samba de Preto Velho
Samba de Preto Tutú...
Mas que nada,
um samba como este tão legal.
Você não vai querer
que eu chegue no final...
Ô, ô ô ô ô ariá, raiô!
Obá, obá, obá!
Ô, ô ô ô ô ariá, raiô!
Obá, obá, obá!

Come On
O, o-o-o-oh ari-ah, rayoh!
Obah, obah, obah!
O, o-o-o-oh ari-ah, rayoh!
Obah, obah, obah!
Come on,1
get out of my way2
'cause I want to pass.
Because the samba is vivacious,
and what I want is to do the samba.
Come on,
a samba like this, so good.
You don't want
that I get to the end of it...
O, o-o-o-oh ari-ah, rayoh!
Obah, obah, obah!
O, o-o-o-oh ari-ah, rayoh!
Obah, obah, obah!
That samba
which is a mixture of Maracatu,
Preto Velho-samba,
Preto Tutú-samba...
Come on,
a samba like this, so good.
You don't want
that I get to the end of it...
O, o-o-o-oh ari-ah, rayoh!
Obah, obah, obah!
O, o-o-o-oh ari-ah, rayoh!
Obah, obah, obah!
