[Chorus]
I told my ma, about the town I love so well
I told my ma, about the town I love
My time will come, raising up my family
I told my ma, about the town I love
I’m leaving for an island, way down in the south
Where the roads are curved and dusty with no names
The people’s so inviting, they’re smiling everywhere
With a tempo I can share
[Chorus]
I’d like to get together, where there’s samba in the streets
In a tropical favela to the beats
In Santa Catarina, a hot summer night
Are you ready, to ignite?
[Chorus]
I said
Oh oh hungry eyes, hungry eyes
My apprise, all for you
Oh, hungry eyes
Until the morning’s arise
[Chorus: x2]
