Más que nada
Brasil '66; Sergio Mendes Lyrics

Oariá raiô
Expressing joy and excitement, anticipating the start of something great

Obá obá obá
Further expression of the excitement and anticipation felt in the first line

Mas que nada
Here comes the Black Eyed Peas, hot and ready to make an impact

Black Eyed Peas came to make it hotter
The Black Eyed Peas are determined to add more fire to the scene

We be the party starters
The Black Eyed Peas are the ones who get the party going

Bubblin' up just like lava, like lava
They're boiling with energy, like molten lava ready to erupt

Heated like a sauna
The heat and energy felt by the Black Eyed Peas is palpable and intense

Penetrating through your body armor
Their music is unstoppable, nothing will stand in its way

Rhythmically we massage ya
The energy and beat of the Black Eyed Peas music is so intense, it feels like a rhythmic massage

With hip hop mixed up with samba
The Black Eyed Peas bring some hip hop flare to the traditional samba music

So yes, yes, y'all (yes, y'all, y'all) You know we never stop we never rest, y'all (rest, y'all, y'all) The Black Eyed Peas'll keep it funky fresh, y'all (fresh, y'all, y'all) And we won't stop until we get y'all, 'til we get y'all sayin'
The Black Eyed Peas are unstoppable, they'll keep going until everyone has joined in and started dancing with them

Peter Piper picked peppers But Tab rocked rhymes-a 1, 2, 3, 4, several times-a
The Black Eyed Peas and Tab are working to push the boundaries in music, like Peter Piper explored the world around him

Heavy rotation played by every kind-a Radio stations blastin' every mind-a
The Black Eyed Peas music is gaining popularity and is played on every type of radio station, reaching people worldwide

We crossing boundaries like everyday To rock ya body, Bobbie be on the R and the Bay We got we got Tab magnifications Tab magnified like every day
The Black Eyed Peas and Tab are reaching out to people everywhere, breaking boundaries and bringing people together through music

Drop hot hot be my daily operation Got to put in work in this crazy occupation Gotta keep it movin' (that's the motivation) Gotta ride the waves and keep a tight relation With my team keep it moving, and doing it right Up in the lab every day 'til daylight That's the way things move in this monkey business (We took an old samba song and remixed it)
Creating new music is hard work, but the Black Eyed Peas are motivated to keep it fresh and exciting for their audience. They work hard together, tirelessly pushing boundaries and exploring their creativity, even when it means working day and night in the studio

Sai da minha frente Que eu quero passar Pois o samba esta animado O que eu quero e sambar
This original samba song by Sergio Mendes is all about the desire to dance and celebrate life

Este samba, que e misto de maracatu E samba de preto velho Samba de preto tu
This samba is a mixture of maracatu and old-style samba, which are classic Brazilian music genres

Ba badada ba Ba badada ba
These vocalizations are meant to create a catchy beat and get people moving along to the rhythm

(Ba badada ba) Sergio, play yo piano (Oh eh oh) Sergio, play yo yo yo yo yo
Sergio Mendes is called upon to bring his skills on the piano and add to the overall energy of the music

Piano (ano ano ano ano ano ano)
The Black Eyed Peas continue to add their own stylizations to the traditional samba beat
