I told my ma 'bout the town I love so well
I told my ma 'bout the town I love
My time will come, raising up my family
I told my ma 'bout 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 (ah)
I told my ma 'bout the town I love so well
I told my ma 'bout the town I love
My time will come, raising up my family
I told my ma 'bout the town I love
♪
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? (Ah)
I told my ma 'bout the town I love so well
I told my ma 'bout the town I love
My time will come, raising up my family
I told my ma 'bout the town I love
I said, "Oh, oh, hungry eyes
Hungry eyes, my apprise
All for you, oh, hungry eyes
Until the morning arise"
