Dim, dim, dim, dim
Dim, dim, dim, dim
Faz o tamborim dim, dim, dim
Makes the tamborim go dim, dim, dim
E o violão faz tim-dom

Batendo igual o meu coração
Beating just like my heart
Tim, dom, dom

Batendo igual o meu coração
Beating just like my heart
Você gostou

Quando ouviu meu samba, sambou
When she heard my samba, she danced
Fez a turma toda gostar
Made the whole crowd enjoy it
Do seu jeito bom de gingar, de sambar
With her good way of swaying, of sambaing
Dim, dim, dim, dim
Dim, dim, dim, dim
Faz o tamborim dim, dim, dim
The tambourine goes dim, dim, dim
E o violão faz tim-dom
And the guitar goes tim-dom
Batendo igual o meu coração
Beating just like my heart
