Sambalele cannot dance no!

He threw a stone at a mango!

Stone fell back down on his own head!

Sambalele's in his own bed!

Samba, samba Sambalele

Samba, samba Sambalala

Samba, samba Sambalele

Pisa na barra da saia o lala

Samba, samba Sambalele

Samba, samba Sambalala

Samba, samba Sambalele

Pisa na barra da saia o lala

**Music Break - Flute Solo**

Sambalele took a fall, now

He made some stilts to be tall, now

He took a tumble on his head

Sambalele's back in his bed!

Samba, samba Sambalele

Samba, samba Sambalala

Samba, samba Sambalele

Pisa na barra da saia o lala

Samba, samba Sambalele

Sambalele!

"Pisa na barra da saia o lala" translates to "Step on the hem of the skirt, o lala". This line comes from the Brazilian folk song "Sambalele," which is about dancing the samba. 

• Pisa na barra da saia: "Step on the hem of the skirt".

• o lala: "o lala" is an onomatopoeic or interjective element, common in Brazilian music, which adds to the rhythm and flow of the song, similar to a "hey" or "ooh" sound
