The song "So Danco Samba" is a classic bossa nova track by Brazilian musician, songwriter, and composer Antonio Carlos Jobim. The song is about the joy of dancing samba, a popular Brazilian dance style, and the pleasure it brings. The repetitive chorus of "So Danco Samba" translates to "I only dance samba," emphasizing the singer's love for this particular style of dance.
The lyrics also mention the singer's past experiences with other dance styles such as twist, calypso, and cha cha cha, but ultimately he is tired of them and only wants to dance samba. The song is upbeat and celebratory, capturing the infectious energy and rhythm of samba.
