Don't let the samba die
Don't let the samba end
The hill was made of samba
Of samba for us to dance

When I can no longer
Step on the avenue
When my legs
Can no longer endure
Take my body
Along with my samba
My bamba ring
I give to whoever deserves to wear it

When I can no longer
Step on the avenue
When my legs
Can no longer endure
Take my body
Along with my samba
My bamba ring
I give to whoever deserves to wear it

I will stay
In the middle of the crowd watching
My school losing or winning
One more carnival
Before I say goodbye
I leave to the younger sambista
My final request

Before I say goodbye
I leave to the younger sambista
My final request

Don't let the samba die
Don't let the samba end
The hill was made of samba
Of samba, for us to dance

Don't let the samba die
Don't let the samba end
The hill was made of samba
Of samba, for us to dance

When I can no longer
Step on the avenue
When my legs
Can no longer endure
Take my body
Along with my samba
My bamba ring
I give to whoever deserves to wear it

When I can no longer
Step on the avenue
When my legs
Can no longer endure
Take my body
Along with my samba
My bamba ring
I give to whoever deserves to wear it

I will stay
In the middle of the crowd watching
My school losing or winning
One more carnival
Before I say goodbye
I leave to the younger sambista
My final request

Before I say goodbye
I leave to the younger sambista
My final request

Don't let the samba die
Don't let the samba end
The hill was made of samba
Of samba, for us to dance

Don't let the samba die
Don't let the samba end
The hill was made of samba
Of samba, for us to dance

Don't let the samba die
Don't let the samba end
