Samba de uma Nota Só [English translation]

This is a little Samba

Built upon a single note

other notes are bound to follow

But the root is still that note

Now this new one is the consequence

Of the one we've just been through

As I'm bound to be the unavoidable

Consequence of you

There's so many people who just talk and talk and talk

And just say nothing

Or nearly nothing

I've used up all the scales I know and at the end

I've come to nothing, or nearly nothing

So i come back to my first note

As I must come back to you

I will pour into that one note

All the love I feel for you!

Anyone who wants the whole show

Ray Mi Fa So La Ti Do

He will find himself with no show

Better play the note you know
