==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
