Paroles et traduction Nei Lopes - Partido ao Cubo

Partido ao Cubo

O samba mandou chamar
A rumba e casou com ela
A festa foi na favela
E amanheceu no solar
Na mesa posta ao luar
Ají guaguao no tempero
Som cubano e brasileiro
Timbuca no meu daiquiri
Dobradinha no congri
Cincerro, conga e pandeiro
O samba mandou chamar
Cincerro, conga e pandeiro...
O samba mandou me chamar
Som cubano e brasileiro...
O samba mandou me chamar
Ají guaguao no tempero
Compay Segundo chamou
Pra roda Nelson Sargento
Que formou seu regimento
E as armas apresentou
Ibrahim Ferrer mandou
Um bolero no capricho
Jamelão soltou os bichos
E disse a Omara Portuondo:
O samba ficou redondo
Igual a pinto no lixo
O samba mandou chamar
Um bolero no capricho...
O samba mandou chamar
Jamelão soltou os bichos...
O samba mandou chamar
Igual a pinto no lixo...
A Beth falou pra Omara
Madrinha, toma teu Grammy
Célia Cruz lá de Miami
Ligou pra Ivone Lara
Lembrou um samba de Clara
E elogiou Alcione
Que provocou um ciclone
E fez tremer céus e mares
Ao chamar Elza Soares
Pra chegar ao microfone
O samba mandou chamar
Minha comadre Alcione...
O samba mandou chamar
Que provocou um ciclone...
O samba mandou chamar
Com Elza no microfone...
Aí, ficou sabrosón
Guajira, pagode e tumba
Palo mayombe e macumba
Manisero e Carinhoso
Lecuona com Ary Barroso
Pandeiro, conga e atabaque
Cana, mojito e conhaque
Som mulato, de branco com preto
Pra bagunçar o coreto
Dos sucessos de araque
O samba mandou chamar
E deu mojito e conhaque...
O samba mandou chamar
Pros sucessos de araque...

Cuban Party

Samba sent out the call
To rumba and proposed
The party was in the favela
And ended up at dawn in a mansion
At a table set in the moonlight
Ají guaguao in the seasoning
Cuban and Brazilian sound
Timbuca in my daiquiri
Dobradinha in the congri
Cowbell, conga, and tambourine
Samba sent out the call
Cowbell, conga, and tambourine...
Samba sent out the call to me
Cuban and Brazilian sound...
Samba sent out the call to me
Ají guaguao in the seasoning
Compay Segundo called
For Nelson Sargento to join the circle
Who formed his regiment
And presented his weapons
Ibrahim Ferrer sent
A bolero with flair
Jamelão released the animals
And said to Omara Portuondo:
Samba is now complete
Just like a chicken in the trash
Samba sent out the call
A bolero with flair...
Samba sent out the call
Jamelão released the animals...
Samba sent out the call
Just like a chicken in the trash...
Beth said to Omara
Godmother, take your Grammy
Célia Cruz from Miami
Called Ivone Lara
Reminded her of a samba by Clara
And praised Alcione
Who caused a cyclone
And made the heavens and seas tremble
When she called Elza Soares
To come to the microphone
Samba sent out the call
My friend Alcione...
Samba sent out the call
Who caused a cyclone...
Samba sent out the call
With Elza at the microphone...
Ah, it got tasty
Guajira, pagode, and tumba
Palo mayombe and macumba
Manisero and Carinhoso
Lecuona with Ary Barroso
Tambourine, conga, and atabaque
Rum, mojito, and cognac
Mestizo music, black and white
To mess up the bandstand
With the hits of the moment
Samba sent out the call
And served mojito and cognac...
Samba sent out the call
For the hits of the moment...
