Текст песни Give Me a Band and a Bandana - Carmen Miranda

Gimme, gimme, gimme
Give me a band and a bandana
I want do dance
I want to shake my shoes in good old town
Give me a band and a bandana
I want to pick him up and lay him down

I don't care for a hoochie-coochie
And I don't like the shimmy
Trick my feet to a tropical fit
And gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
Give me a band and a bandana
'Cause I don't want a Romeo
I don't want a romance, no, I only want to dance, dance

Any band that his hand can make me feel bandit
I don't need a brand for kicks
Give me a rhythm that is latin
And I'll show Manhattan my South American tricks, samba!

O que é que a baiana tem?
Tem torso de seda, tem (tem)
Corrente de ouro tem (tem)
Tem bata rendada, tem (claro que tem)
Tem saia engomada, tem (claro que tem)
Sandália enfeitada tem (claro que tem)
E tem graça como ninguém (o que é que a baiana tem?)
Como ela requebra bem (o que é que a baiana tem?)
Quando você se requebrar, caia por cima de mim
Caia por cima de mim, caia por cima de mim

E quando eu penso na Bahia
Nem sei que dó que me dá
Oi, me dá, me dá, me dá Yoyô (me dá, me dá, me dá Yayá)
E se eu pudesse, quarqué dia eu ia de novo pra lá (oi, vá, vá, vá, Yayá)
Eu vou, eu vou, se vou, Yoyô

And that's why
I don't care for a hootchie-coochie
And I don't like the shimmy
Trick my feet to a tropical fit
And gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
Give me a band and a bandana
I want my hips to say, "Hip hip hooray!"
Give me a band and a bandana
'Cause I don't want a Romeo
I don't want a romance, no, I only want to dance

I don't care for a hootchie-coochie
And I don't like the shimmy
Trick my feet to a tropical fit
And gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
Give me a band and a bandana

I don't want a Romeo (no, no, no)
No, no, no, no romance (this means that I don't care)
I don't want love (no?)
No! (Why not?)
Because
I only want to dance
Give me a band and a bandana
I want to dance
I love to dance
