Nha tamboru ki mi N adora
Da kel bum po mundo ta tora
Tra kel som ponu na ton
Toka tamboru pa nu da kutornu
Pa nu brinka so sabi sen para
Ó continua pamodi dja nu gosta
Kada bum, ki tamboru da
Ta dan bum, bum bum na korason
Kada bum, ki tamboru da
Ta dan bum, bum bum na korason
Nha tamboru dan kel batida batuku
Nha tamboru dan kel batida mas kenti
Ke pa tudu alguen bira sabi i kontenti
Ke pa tudu mundu vira kara pa frenti
Toka tamboru sim nos é kapaz
Ken ki flabu ma nos é inkapaz
Dje altura pa nu spandi kultura
Rapika batida sem medu
Kada bum, ki tamboru da
Ta dan bum, bum bum na korason
Kada bum, ki tamboru da
Ta dan bum, bum bum na korason
Kada bum, ki tamboru da
Ta dan bum, bum bum na korason
Kada bum, ki tamboru da
Ta dan bum, bum bum na korason
Ó ia, ia, iai, nha tamboru
