Ai, ai, ai, ai
É o canto do pregoneiro
Que com sua harmonia
Traz alegria
In South American Way
Ai, ai, ai, ai
E o que traz no seu tabuleiro
Vende pra ioiô
Vende pra iaiá
In South American Way
E vende vatapá
E vende caruru
E vende munguzá
E vende umbu
No tabuleiro tem de tudo que convém
Mas só lhe falta, ai, ai berenguendéns
Ai, ai, ai, ai
É o canto do pregoneiro
Que com sua harmonia
Traz alegria
In South American Way
Ai, ai, ai, ai
Ai, ai, ai, ai,
Ai ,ai, ai, ai
In South American Way
Ai, ai, ai, ai
Have you ever danced
In the tropics?
With that hazy lazy
Like, kind of crazy
Like South American Way
Ai, ai, ai, ai
Have you ever kissed
In the moon light
In the grand and Glorious
Gay Notorious
South American Way
Ai, ai, ai, ai
Ai, ai, ai, ai
In South American Way
