O ari rai, O?
Ob, Ob, Ob,
O (o, o, o, o,) ari rai, O?
Ob, Ob, Ob...
Mas que nada
Sai da minha frente eu quero passar
Pois o samba est animado
O que eu quero sambar
Este samba que misto de maracatu
samba de preto velho
Samba de preto tu
CHORUS 2:
Mas que nada
Um samba como esse do legal
Voc no vai querer
Que eu chegue no final
********************************
English Translation (very rough)
********************************
Oh, little song, what are you?
What? What? What?
More of that nothing
It wants to pass in front of me
To liven up the samba
What I want to do is to samba
This samba, the samba of veiled color
the mix of your maracas,
the samba of antique veiled color
More of that nothing,
a samba that's just barely legal
You start wanting to go into it
then arriving at the end
