Samba Si Arbeit No

Lalala, lalala, lalalalalalalalala,
lalala, lalala, lalalalalalalalala.

From the fields they came back home,
A long day of work was finally done.
Back to the hacienda!
So tired yet happy at the same time.
'Cause they had the grain under the roof,
And one grabbed the guitar and said:
Listen up, buddies!
Tonight, we’re gonna party hard!

Samba yes! Yes! Yes! Work no! No! No!
Dance and laugh, feel good, drink the wine!
Samba yes! Yes! Yes! Work no! No! No!
'Cause you gotta have fun in life sometimes!
Samba yes! Yes! Yes! Work no! No! No!
Fill the wine back in the jug!
Samba yes! Yes! Yes! Work no! No! No!
'Cause the morning will come soon enough!

UH!

And the fiesta really got going,
Late into the night, it was still wild.
The wine flowed like a river,
They danced until their feet were sore.
Suddenly, Don Gonzales showed up,
He owned the whole hacienda, you see.
And shouted: buddies!
I’m the boss here, and now it’s OVER!

Samba no! Yes! Work yes! No!
Samba just makes you lazy and comfy.
Samba no! Yes! Work yes! No!
Samba makes life beautiful, you know.

Samba yes! Yes! Yes! Work no! No! No!
Dance and laugh, feel good, drink the wine!
Samba yes! Yes! Yes! Work no! No! No!
'Cause you gotta have fun in life sometimes!
Samba yes! Yes! Yes! Work no! No! No!
Fill the wine back in the jug!
Samba yes! Yes! Yes! Work no! No! No!
'Cause the morning will come soon enough!

One more time!

Samba yes! Yes! Yes! Work no! No! No!
Dance and laugh, feel good, drink the wine!
Samba yes! Yes! Yes! Work no! No! No!
'Cause you gotta have fun in life sometimes!
Yes! Yes! Samba Yes!
