Eu te queria eu te queria para mim
I wanted you, I wanted you for myself
Nega não vá
Baby, don't go
Eu te queria eu te queria para mim
I wanted you, I wanted you for myself
Nega não vá
Baby, don't go
Barba e cabelo black
Beard and hair black
Sempre fui o seu muleque
I've always been your little guy
Que fica sambando numa perna só
Who stands dancing on one leg
Só, só, só, só
Only, only, only, only
Eu sou seu muleque no black no pé
I am your little guy in black on my feet
Pé, pé, pé, pé
Feet, feet, feet, feet
Que fica sambando numa perna só
That keeps dancing on one leg
Já dancei samba de breck
I've danced samba from the break
No tempo da sua avó
In the time of your grandmother
Que fica sambando numa perna só
That keeps dancing on one leg
Só, só, só, só
Only, only, only, only
Eu sou seu muleque no black no pé
I’m your boy with black on my feet
Pé, pé, pé, pé
Feet, feet, feet, feet
Que fica sambando numa perna só
That keeps dancing on one leg
