Summer Samba
Deodato & Marcos Valle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Someone to hold me tight
That would be very nice
Someone to love me right
That would be very nice
Someone to understand
Each little dream in me
Someone to take my hand
To be a team with me

So nice, life would be so nice
If one day I'd find
Someone who would take my hand
And samba through life with me

Someone to cling to me
Stay with me right or wrong
Someone to sing to me
Some little samba song
Someone to take my heart
And give his heart to me
Someone who's ready to
Give love a start with me

Oh yeah, that would be so nice
I could see you and me, that would be nice

Você viu só que amor nunca vi coisa assim
E passou, nem parou mas olhou só pra mim
Se voltar vou atrás, vou pedir, vou falar
Vou dizer que o amor foi feitinho pra dar

Olha, é como o verão, quente o coração
Salta de repente para ver a menina que vem

Ela vem sempre tem esse mar no olhar
E vai ver, tem que ser, nunca tem quem amar
Hoje sim diz que sim já cansei de esperar
Nem parei nem dormi, só pensando em me dar

Peço, mas você não vem
Deixo então, falo só, digo ao céu, mas você vem

Você viu só que amor nunca vi coisa assim
E passou, nem parou mas olhou só pra mim
Se voltar vou atrás, vou pedir, vou falar
Vou dizer que o amor foi feitinho pra dar

Olha, é como o verão, quente o coração
Salta de repente para ver a menina que vem

Ela vem sempre tem esse mar no olhar
E vai ver, tem que ser, nunca tem quem amar
Hoje sim diz que sim já cansei de esperar
Nem parei nem dormi, só pensando em me dar





Peço, mas você não vem
Deixo então, falo só, digo ao céu, mas você vem

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Deodato and Marcos Valle's "Summer Samba" express a desire for a companion to share life's ups and downs. The singer longs for someone to hold them tight, love them right, and understand their dreams. They envision a teammate who will dance the samba through life with them, singing little songs and giving and receiving love. The singer's hopes for a partner are elevated to the level of the ideal life, and the lyrics suggest that finding someone to share one's journey with would make life "so nice".


The second verse is in Portuguese, and it is sung by Marcos Valle. Valle's lyrics mirror Deodato's, with a focus on a woman who catches his eye. She has a "sea" in her eyes, and he feels that love was made for them to give to each other. The Portuguese verses maintain the theme of longing for companionship, with a hint of flirtation and a playful reference to the heat of summer.
