Lyrics
South American Way
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 em seu tabuleiro
Vende pra ioiô, e vende pra iaiá
In South American Way
E vende vatapá, e vende caruru
E vende mungunzá e vende umbu
No tabuleiro tem, tudo que lhe convém
Mas só lhe falta ai, ai berenguendem
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
