Lyrics and translation Marku Ribas - Zamba Ben

Zamba Ben

Zamba ben, afeia mount'temp
Chic com'dib lei
Zamba ben é zamba de angola
E aqui já tem também (bis)

Zambei demais
Que de manhã eu lá na praia acordei
Zambei demais
Que de manhã eu me encontrei

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Deitado a sombra de um coqueiro
Como quem espera a vida passar
Minha nega do meu lado
Dizia: amor o mar tá gelado
E o sol tá bom para queimar
Zamba ben, ben, ben ben,
Ben, ben, ben, ben
Eu quero, quero, zambar eu quero
Eu quero, quero, zambar eu quero

Zamba Ben

Zamba ben, my beautiful princess
Sweet as honey
Zamba ben is a zamba from Angola
And here she is, my dear (repeat)

I danced too much
That this morning I woke up on the beach
I danced too much
That this morning I found myself

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Lying in the shade of a coconut tree
As if waiting for life to pass me by
My darling by my side
Saying: my love, the sea is cold
And the sun is hot enough to burn
Zamba ben, ben, ben ben,
Ben, ben, ben, ben
I want to, I want to, dance I want to
I want to, I want to, dance I want to

Eloá marinho
