Lyrics

Japanese

叩けボンゴ　響けサンバ
踊れ南のカルナバル
誰も彼も　浮かれ騒ぎ
光る汗がはじけとぶ

熱い風に　体あずけ
心ゆくまで踊れば
波も歌うよ　愛のサンバを
胸にあふれるこのリズム

オ-レオレ　マツケンサンバ
オ-レオレ　マツケンサンバ
あぁ　恋せよ　アミ-ゴ
踊ろう　セリョリータ
眠りさえ忘れて　踊り明かそう
サンバ　ビバ　サンバ
マ・ツ・ケ・ン　サンバ　オレ!

オレ!

English

Come play the bongos 
Come hear the samba 
Dance to the rhythm of the carnival  
Let’s party day and night   
Until we feel all right 
Don’t stop the fun tonight  
We are shining bright! 

I feel the hot breeze blow 
And let my body go 
I wanna dance and dance 
Until I’m in a trance 
The waves sing my song 
With samba, we belong  
The rhythm in my heart 
We’ll never be apart 

Olé, Olé! Matsuken Samba 
Olé, Olé! Matsuken Samba 
Ah, fall in love amigo
Just dance señorita
Forget about the time today and 
Let’s dance the night away 
Samba, viva, samba! 
Matsuken Samba! Olé! 

Olé!
