Samba De Duas Notas
Stan Getz / Luis Bonfa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feito numa nota só
Outras notas vão entrar
Mas a base é uma só
Esta outra é consequência
Do que acabo de dizer
Como eu sou a conseqüência
Inevitável de você
Quanta gente existe por aí
Que fala, fala e não diz nada
Ou quase nada
Já me utilizei de toda a escala
E no final não deu em nada
Ou quase nada
E voltei prá minha nota
Como eu volto prá você
Vou cantar em uma nota
Como eu gosto de você
E quem quer todas as notas
Ré, mi, fá, sol, lá, si, dó
Acaba sem nenhuma
Fique numa nota só
The lyrics of Rosa Morena by Stan Getz and João Gilberto are about a woman named Rosa who is described as a beautiful and confident woman with a rose in her hair. She walks with an air of sophistication and attracts people's attention with her charm. The lyrics repeatedly ask Rosa where she is going, with the song building up to the chorus which says that the samba is waiting for her, and that the people are tired of waiting for her to come and join in the festivities. The song encourages Rosa to let go of her inhibitions and join the party, to stop being coy and come dance with the people who are eagerly waiting for her.
On a deeper level, the song can be interpreted as a metaphor for living life to the fullest and not holding back. Rosa can represent anyone who is hesitant to fully engage with life, who is afraid to take risks and join in the party. The song urges these people to let go of their fears and worries and join in the dance of life.

Rosa, morena!
Oh! Rosa, morena!
Onde vais morena Rosa?
Where are you going, morena Rosa?
Com essa rosa no cabelo
With that rose in your hair
E esse andar de moça prosa
And that sassy walk
Morena, morena Rosa
Morena, morena Rosa
O samba está esperando
The samba is waiting
Esperando pra te ver
Waiting to see you
Deixa de lado
Leave aside
Esta coisa de dengosa
That coquettishness
Anda Rosa, vem me ver
Come on, Rosa, come see me
Deixa da lado esta pose
Leave this pose aside
Vem pro samba, vem sambar
Come to the samba, come dance
Que o pessoal tá cansado
That people are tired
De esperar
Of waiting
Ô Rosa!
Oh, Rosa!
Morena Rosa!
Morena Rosa!
Viu Rosa!
You see, Rosa!
