  • Oriá raiô
    Obá obá obá

    Oriá raiô
    Obá obá obá

    Mas que nada
    Sai da minha frente eu quero passar
    Pois o samba está animado
    O que eu quero é sambar

    Este samba que é misto de maracatu
    É samba de preto velho
    Samba de preto tu

    Mas que nada
    Um samba como esse tão legal
    Você não vai querer
    Que eu chegue no final

    Oriá raiô
    Obá obá obá

    Oriá raiô
    Obá obá obá

    Mas que nada
    Sai da minha frente eu quero passar
    Pois o samba está animado
    O que eu quero é sambar

    Este samba que é misto de maracatu
    É samba de preto velho
    Samba de preto tu

    Mas que nada
    Um samba como esse tão legal
    Você não vai querer
    Que eu chegue no final

    Oriá raiô
    Obá obá obá

    Oriá raiô
    Obá obá obá

    Obá obá obá
    Obá obá obá
    Obá obá obá

  • M. Turboffy from Alma Co.Not pertaining to this tune, only. But imho, the sexy sultry female lead singers on all Brazil 66 songs are the best female duo in rock/pop history. I mean they kill , just kill it on "The Look of Love" & "Fool on the Hill" among many others. Plus, the guys backround harmonizing is solid..
  • Seventhmist from 7th HeavenWould also have liked to have seen listings for their 80s hits, "Never Gonna Let You Go" and "Alibis."
  • Steve from Whittier, CaHuh? ONLY #47? Hmmm.. This song has from the start here in the USA become so iconic that it's surprising that it peaked just outside the top 40.

  • Barry from Sauquoit, NyI agree with Darrell of Eugene, surprised there's no other Mendes listings; in 1968 he had two records that made the Top 10. "The Look of Love" peaked at #4 and "The Fool on the Hill" reached #6... {Also in 1968 his version of "Scarborough Fair" peaked at #16}
  • Darrell from EugeneI can't believe that there are no other listings for Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66! My girlfriend and I love their music, especially "The Look of Love", which I seem to recall being adapted to a Cotton Board commercial in the 1990s.
