One Note Samba (Samba de Uma Nota Só) |
This is just a little samba |
Built upon a single note |
Other notes are bound to follow |
But the root is still that note |
Now this new one is the consequence |
Of the one we’ve just been through |
As I’m bound to be the unavoidable consequence of you |
There’s so many people who can talk |
And talk and talk and just say nothing |
Or nearly nothing |
I have used up all the scale I know |
And at the end I’ve come to nothing |
Or nearly nothing |
So I came back to my first note |
As I must come back to you |
I will pour into that one note |
All the love I feel for you |
Anyone who wants the whole show |
Re mi fa sol la si do |
He will find himself with no show |
Better play the note you know |
