Lyrics of O Samba Tai - Seu Jorge

O Samba Tai (original)

Disseram que o samba se perdeu
Onde será que ele está?
Dizem que ele foi seguindo adiante
Sem consultar a ninguÃ(c)m
Pra entender o samba
Você não precisa sair
De onde está
O Samba tá aí
O samba tá
Tá no sangue
Daquele que sabe sambar
O Samba tá aí
O samba tá
Tá no sangue
Daquele que sabe sambar
Te falei mas disseram
Disseram que o samba se perdeu
Onde será que ele está
Dizem que ele foi seguindo adiante
Sem consultar a ninguÃ(c)m
Pra entender o samba
Você não precisa sair
De onde está
O Samba tá aí
O samba tá
Tá no sangue
Daquele que sabe sambar
O Samba tá aí
O samba tá
Tá no sangue
Daquele que sabe sambar
Ta no cacique de Ramos
No sovaco tambÃ(c)m tá
Tá no pé da Igreja da Penha
No trem da Central
Tá na Praç a Mauá
Tá no frevo em recife
Nos «Estates» tambÃ(c)m ta
Fez história na Bahia
Dizem até que nasceu lá
O Samba tá aí
O samba tá
Tá no sangue
Daquele que sabe sambar
O Samba tá aí
O samba tá
Tá no sangue
Daquele que sabe sambar
Quando desceu lá do morro, compadre
Ele desceu numa boa
Manifestou emoção
O samba andou de avião
O samba andou de canoa
O samba pintou o sete
Com dama e valete
Sabe como é O samba está na cabeç a
Na palma da mão e na sola do pé O Samba tá aí
O samba tá
Tá no sangue
Daquele que sabe sambar
O Samba tá aí
O samba tá
Tá no sangue
Daquele que sabe sambar
Vou pedir pra São Jorge guerreiro
Que é meu padroeiro
Pra me abenç oar
Tá no sangue
Daquele que sabe sambar
Vou pro samba de noite e de dia
A preta sabia antes de casar
Tá no sangue
Daquele que sabe sambar

(translation)

They said that samba was lost
Where is he?
They say he was moving on
Without consulting anyone
To understand samba
You don't have to leave
Where are you from
Samba is there
The samba is
It's in the blood
of the one who knows how to samba
Samba is there
The samba is
It's in the blood
of the one who knows how to samba
I told you but they said
They said that samba was lost
Where is he
They say he was moving on
Without consulting anyone
To understand samba
You don't have to leave
Where are you from
Samba is there
The samba is
It's in the blood
of the one who knows how to samba
Samba is there
The samba is
It's in the blood
of the one who knows how to samba
Ta no cacique de Ramos
The armpit is also
It's at the foot of the Penha Church
On the Central train
It's in the Mauá Square
It's in frevo in Recife
In the «Estates» also
Made history in Bahia
They even say he was born there
Samba is there
The samba is
It's in the blood
of the one who knows how to samba
Samba is there
The samba is
It's in the blood
of the one who knows how to samba
When he came down from the hill, compadre
He went down in a good
Manifested emotion
Samba traveled by plane
The samba went on a canoe
The samba painted the seven
With lady and jack
You know how samba is in your head
On the palm of the hand and on the sole of the foot Samba is there
The samba is
It's in the blood
of the one who knows how to samba
Samba is there
The samba is
It's in the blood
of the one who knows how to samba
I will ask Saint George Warrior
who is my patron
To bless me
It's in the blood
of the one who knows how to samba
I'm going to samba by night and by day
The black woman knew before marrying
It's in the blood
of the one who knows how to samba
