[Dialogue/Pre-Chorus: José Carioca, Donald Duck]
Forgive me, but...
Have you been to Baía, Donald?
No!
No? Well let's go
If you go to Baía, my friend, you'll never return
[Chorus: José Carioca, Donald Duck]
Muita sorte teve
Muita sorte tem
Muita sorte terá
Have you been to Baía, Donald?
Uh-uh!
Well, let's go!
[Verse one: José Carioca, Donald Duck]
They have vatapá
What's that?
They have caruru
Is that so?
They have munguzá
Munguzá?
Do you like to do samba?
Oh, sure!
[Break: José Carioca]
Nas sacadas dos sobrados
Da velha São Salvador
Há lembranças de donzelas
Do tempo do Imperador
Tudo, tudo na Baía
Faz a gente querer bem
A Baía tem um jeito
Que nenhuma terra tem!
[Pre-Chorus: José Carioca, Donald Duck]
Have you been to Baía, Donald?
No!
No? Well let's go
When you go to Baía, my friend, you'll never return!
[Chorus: José Carioca]
Muita sorte teve
Muita sorte tem
Muita sorta terá
[Spoken: Donald Duck]
Have you been to Baía?!
