One Note Samba (Samba De Uma Nota Só)

This is just

A little samba

Built upon

A single note

Other notes

Are sure to follow

But the root

Is still that note

Now this new note

Is the consequence

Of the one

We've just

Been through



As I'm bound to be

The unavoidable

Consequence of you

There's so many people

Who can talk

And talk and talk

And just say nothing

Or nearly nothing



I have used up

All the scale

I know

And at the end

I've come

To nothing

I mean nothing

So I come back

To my first note

As I must

Come back to you



I will pour

Into that one note

All the love

I feel for you

Anyone who wants

The whole show, show

Do-re-mi-fa

So-la-ci-do

He will

Find himself

With no show

Better play

The note you know
