Told My Ma

[Chorus]

I told my ma, about the town I love so well

I told my ma, about the town I love

My time will come, raising up my family

I told my ma, about the town I love

I’m leaving for an island, way down in the south

where the roads are curved and dusty with no names

The people’s so inviting, they’re smiling everywhere

With a tempo I can share

[Chorus]

I'd like to get together, where there's samba in the streets

in a tropical favela to the beats

in Santa Catarina, a hot summer night

are you ready, to ignite?

[Chorus]

I said

Oh oh hungry eyes, hungry eyes

My apprise, all for you

Oh, hungry eyes

Until the morning’s arise

[Chorus x2]
